Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished from R. stewari by the following characters: snout shape is wider and more projected with snout length 14.6-15.1% SL (vs. 11.3-13.3% SL); with shorter caudal peduncle, its postanal length 45.2-46.1% SL (vs. 48.9-50.8% SL); the dorsal-fin is closer to caudal-fin, its postdorsal length 54.3% SL (vs. 57.5-59.0% SL); abdomen totally covered with plates, loosely connected in examined specimen (vs. abdomen partially or totally covered with plate) (Ref. 124527).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00235 - 0.01774), b=3.04 (2.80 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.5   ±0.2 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 (10 of 100).
