Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Body elongate, moderately deep, and compressed; snout slightly pointed; adipose eyelid poorly developed; lower branch of the first gill arch with 28 to 30 gill rakers; chest entirely covered by scales; lateral line arched anteriorly, with 46 to 53 strong scutes in the straight part; back gray blue; belly silvery with green-gold highlights; 8 to 9 incomplete, dark, vertical bars along the flanks; edge of operculum with a very conspicuous black stain (Ref. 55763).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.8 - 28.5, mean 26.3 °C (based on 52 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.00796 - 0.03794), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.54 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
