Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 47 - 52. Body moderately elongate, belly with 25 or 26 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting; gap between hind tip of pre-maxilla and blade of maxilla a ligament, not a toothed bone. Dorsal fin origin well before midpoint of body; anal fin long. Resembles species of Pellonula, which have a distinct toothed hypo-maxilla between the hind tip of the pre-maxilla and the blade of maxilla (Ref. 188).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00531 - 0.01641), b=3.08 (2.93 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 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 (14 of 100).
