Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinct from its congeners in having the following characters: second dorsal-fin rays I, 9-10 (almost always I, 9); anal-fin rays I, 9-10 (almost always I, 9); scaled cheek and pectoral-fin base; asymmetrical caudal fin, with fifth or sixth segmented ray slightly elongate and longest; head length (HL), 28.8-33.5% of SL; eye diameter 32.7-37.3% HL, 9.6-12.3% of SL; grayish body with about 7 narrow, transverse yellow bars (pale in preservation); absence of distinct black-and-white barred pattern on caudal fin (Ref. 75138).
It has been suggested that some specimens were possibly captured from sandy or sandy-mud bottoms in the center and/or western parts of Tosa Bay at the depths of 30-100 m (Ref. 75138).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00295 - 0.02818), b=2.98 (2.72 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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.
