Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Anal spines: 0. Head short, completely scaled except for naked strip on the ventral surface of the snout; Eyes relatively large, 29 to 42% of head length; snout short, pointed; chin barbel very short. Body scales with lanceolate to shield-shaped spinules. Overall color is bluish to violet, head somewhat tawny to swarthy; ventral portions silvery when fresh; pelvic fins black except outermost ray which is pale to white; oral cavity grayish; branchial cavity mostly black.

Feeds on benthic as well as pelagic animals like mysids, amphipods, small shrimps, copepods, isopods, ostracods and polychaete worms (Ref. 6187).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.7 - 15.7, mean 9.3 (based on 786 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00182 (0.00111 - 0.00298), b=3.12 (2.97 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
