Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total): 124-134; Radios blandos anales: 105 - 113; Vértebra: 70 - 74. This species is characterized by the following: usual number of vertebrae, precaudal 15 (14-16), caudal 56-58 (55-59), total 71-73 (70-74); fin rays, dorsal 127-133 (124-134), anal 107-112 (105-113), pectoral 21-24 (20-24); pyloric caeca usually 4 (3-5) in a single whorl except the 5th, when present is in a 2nd tier; first gill arch with rudimentary rakers 3 on the upper arm, 4 (rarely 5) developed rakers on the lower limb, 2-9 (usually 4-8) rudimentary rakers anteriorly on the first arch; total rakers 8-16 (usually 11-15) with most variation due to anterior rudiments; dorsal-fin origin between neural spines 4-5 (85 specimens), less often between 3-4 (6 specimens), or 5-6 (8 specimens) (Ref. 91765).

Common species (Ref. 34024) found on muddy bottom (Ref. 9329). Oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.4 - 28.7, mean 24.6 °C (based on 96 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00229 (0.00128 - 0.00410), b=3.13 (2.98 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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