Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6; Vertebrae: 27. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: D2 I,8; A I,6-7; pectoral fin modally 16-17; longitudinal scale rows 33-34; predorsal scales 0-3; vertebral count 27. Colouration pattern: scale pocket of lateral body with distal brown to blackish brown mark; males with cheek deep brown on dorsal half with 7-8 somewhat parallel oblique deep brown bars after the vertical stripe on snout, the branchiostegal membrane bright yellow background with 16-19 deep red or brownish red spots and with the first dorsal fin with a black mark; in both sexes, the opercle brown to yellowish brown with net-like deep brown marks; pectoral fin base with a median patch of blackish spots surrounding with some irregularly large brown marks; caudal fin yellow with 3-4 vertical rows of deep brown spots (Ref. 127457).

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=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±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).
