Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 20-26; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 29 - 34; Vertebrae: 38 - 42. Greenish above but predominately silvery; dark line at base of posterior part of dorsal; fins usually yellowish except for edging of dark on tail fin, and usually a dark spot on edge near anterior end of anal fin (Ref. 6885).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults often occur near piers, docks, in bays and sandy areas, but usually in quiet water and offshore areas near rocks (Ref. 2850). Viviparous, female carries the developing young (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.3 - 18, mean 10.9 °C (based on 24 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00559 - 0.03107), b=3.05 (2.84 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2; tmax=8).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
