Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10; Vertebre: 26. Upper pectoral fin rays entire. Nape with as many as 30 dark spots. A prominent diagonal, black line from posterior part of upper jaw to operculum. 4 broad, dark bands on abdomen; 2nd dorsal fin with 3-4 rows of black spots; pectoral fin clear, base with 2 small dusky spots. Predorsal cycloid scales 7-9, trunk ctenoid. In male, anal fin when appressed reaching almost the caudal fin; appressed 2nd dorsal fin overlapping caudal. Anal and 2nd dorsal fins of female when appressed reaching to within a distance of 2-3 scales of caudal fin (Ref. 420); longitudinal scale series 30-32; depth of body 4.9-5.6 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Found in sandy areas with both living coral and coral rubble, and from both moderately clear and turbid water (Ref. 48637).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00617 - 0.01696), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
