Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal soft rays: 26 - 31; Vertebrae: 44 - 46. Differs from other species by the following characters: short upper maxilla, its posterior margin not reaching the lower maxilla joint (vs. upper maxilla longer, its posterior margin reaching to or a little past of mandible joint in Lycengraulis grossidens); 26 to 31 anal-fin rays and 44 to 46 vertebrae (vs. 21 to 23 anal-fin rays and 42 vertebrae in L. poeyi); anal-fin origin at vertical through base of second to fifth dorsal-fin ray and 17-21 gill rakers on the lower branch of first gill arch ( vs. anal-fin origin at vertical through base of sixth to 10th dorsal-fin ray and 12-15 gill rakers on the lower branch of first gill arch in L. batesii).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00387 - 0.01238), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

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