Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 25 - 26. This species is distinguished by the following: spinulated (without gap) posterior and lower edges of praeoperculum; insertion of ventral fins in front of the vertical of posterior eye edge; soft rays in dorsal 11 and in anal fin 8; rakers at the first gill arch 29-33; vertebrae 25-26; pyloric caeca 9-11 (Ref. 83717).
Collected with non-closing fishing gear that precise depths of its occurrence is undetermined. Depths of catches are 200-0 minimum and 5300-0 maximum (Ref. 83717).
