Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species (of Trimma tevegae group) is distinguished by the following characters: D VI + I,8; A I,8; pectoral-fin rays 13-14 unbranched; total gill rakers on the outer side of the first gill arch usually 20-22; 3-4 papillae in a transverse row at the posterior interorbital position of row p, and 3-5 papillae in a transverse row at the anterior position of row p; this transverse row usually extends anterior and lateral to the anteriormost papilla in row r; brownish body and bright yellow caudal fin, with no dark marking on the posterior part of the caudal peduncle (Ref. 100726).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.9 - 29.4, mean 28.3 (based on 1139 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
