Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. This species is distinguished by the following: D IX,12, with the first two dorsal-fin spines short, their length similar to those of other spines of dorsal fin, and eleventh dorsal-fin soft ray longest with depressed tip of last dorsal-fin soft ray reaching vertical through caudal-fin base; A III,12; pectoral-fin rays 12; lateral line interrupted, pored lateral-line scales 19-21 + 5–6; scale rows below lateral line 10 (rarely 9); small scale below eye; vertical small scale rows on cheek 7 and each row narrowly separated from adjacent rows; central gill raker of upper limb of first gill arch with 2 branches; central gill raker of lower limb of first gill arch with single branch; body depth 33.6-41.5% of SL; head length 29.6-32.1% of SL; pre-pectoral-fin length 26.5-29.9% of SL; orbit diameter 5.0-6.8 % of SL; head without blotches and small milky-white blotches on anal-fin base and caudal peduncle (Ref. 127939).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00275 - 0.01660), 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):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
