Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.2 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 189)

Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 19 - 22. Belly a little rounded, with 4 or 5 small needle-like pre-pelvic scutes. Maxilla tip pointed, reaching to or beyond hind edge of sub-operculum; hind border of pre-operculum convex, rounded. No tooth patches on upper edge of hyoid bones. Closely resembles S. commerson, which has a shorter maxilla, fewer scutes, fewer anal fin rays and a dark line before dorsal fin.

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Presumably coastal, pelagic and schooling (Ref. 189, 75154). Adults are not yet known, only juveniles to a length to 4.2 cm SL. More specimens and data needed.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27 - 28.1, mean 27.6 °C (based on 38 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00253 - 0.01141), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
