Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 10. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: fin ray counts: D2 I,10; A I,10; P 17-18; D1 not connected to D2; squamation: LR 7-11; anterior half of body is naked, lateral scale present from 5th-6th rays of second dorsal-fin to hypural, embedded in skin; upper jaw teeth in male 14-19, while in female 33-38; urogenital papilla in male slender and distally pointed, flanked by pair of associated fleshy lobes and not retractable into sheath-like groove. Colouration: upper lip greyish, red patches on pectoral-fin base, on mid-body below origin of second dorsal-fin and at caudal peduncle (Ref. 127458).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The species sampling site has a moderately swift current and rocky substratum. It appears to be rare compared to the sympatric Sicyopus zosterophorus and Stiphodon sp. (Ref. 127458).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
