Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Eye diameter larger than snout length. Breast naked. Mouth very oblique. Tuberculation heavy especially on central dorsum of pectoral fins of breeding males, on chin, and spineless on lips. Mature breeding males with bronze underparts including fins. Anal and paired fins with white borders. Body dark, including venter, with large, sparse melanophores, most noticeable in mature males. Other sexes with lateral band as wide or wider than eye, especially around midsides in females (Ref. 40526).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00376 - 0.01926), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
