Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Vertebre: 27. This species is distinguished from all congeners except H. muzuspi by having preopercle constricted medially (vs. no constriction); canal in preopercle present, semicircular, located posterior to the preopercle constriction (vs. canal absent from preopercle). It differs from H. muzuspi by its wider body, cleithral width 23.7-27.0 (25.7) (vs. 19.1-23.5 (22.2)), a deeper caudal peduncle, caudal-peduncle depth 6.4-9.1 (7.7) (vs. 5.2-6.7 (5.8)), and a larger eye, horizontal eye diameter 19.8-23.3 (21.7) (vs. 13.6-20.7 (18.4)) (Ref. 84367).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274)

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00337 - 0.01709), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
