Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished by the following characters: undeveloped humeral spot and the dark diffuse longitudinal band is indifferent developed; longitudinal band starts behind the operculum or below the dorsal fin and runs to the tips of the middle rays of the caudal fin; a golden or silvery stripe above the longitudinal band is not developed; body relatively short and high, looks somewhat like a club, body depth 3.04 (2.69-3.32) times in body length; maxillary bone with (mean) 6 (6.40, 4-8) conical to tricuspid teeth; outer row of the praemaxillary bone are in the mean 2 (1.68. 1-3 ) tricuspid teeth; in a longitudinal row are 31 (31.27. 30-32) scales; lateral line relatively short and has developed in the mean 5 (5.18, 4-6) pored scales; in males, ventral fins reach beyond the origin of anal fin, not in the females; presence of small hooks on the first 6-7 divided fin rays of the anal fin of the males, also on the first fin rays of the ventral fins; 4 (4.18. 3-5) scales are on the beginning of the base of anal fin; vertebrae mean 32 (32.72, 32-33); branched (?) anal fin rays, mean 19 (18.81, 17-20) (Ref. 105293).

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=0.01259 (0.00520 - 0.03049), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±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. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
