Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 75 - 84; Rayons mous anaux: 54 - 64; Vertèbres: 42 - 45. This species is characterized by the following: Vertebrae 12-13 + 29-33 = 42-45, dorsal fin rays 75-84, anal fin rays 54-64; outer pseudoclasper is wingshaped with a curved supporter anteriorly; inner pseudoclasper club-shaped, with prominent appendix inserted at posterodistal angle; a small fleshy lobe at base of hood adjacent to outer pseudoclasper; opercular spine very broad, usually 2-4 furcated in large (> 50 mm SL) specimens; scale patch on cheeks with 5-7 vertical scale rows; head and body mucus with dark brown pigment globules, especially near anal opening (Ref. 57883).

Inhabits coral reefs. A 62 mm SL female specimen (ANSP 115182) contained about 100 embryos (3-4 mm TL) and about 50 eggs (diameter 0.5 mm). The embryos with brown eyes, but no pigmentation on head and body is probably due to the 44 years of preservation (Ref. 57883).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.6 - 28.2, mean 27.5 (based on 310 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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