Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 4; Vertebrae: 19. A large species with tubercles covering the ventral surface of disk and tail. Bases of principal tubercles on tail thickly covered with numerous small tubercles. Cranium relatively wide, 26.7% of SL as compared to a range of 16.7-25.6 for the genus. Cephalic lateral-line counts: subopercular 5; preopercular 2. Tail lateral-line counts 11. Paired fins relatively short, broad and fleshy with fin membranes transparent (Ref. 40826).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00770 - 0.05171), b=2.96 (2.73 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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