Short description Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 76 - 82. Body slender. Dorsal and ventral coloration strongly contrasted; dots and dashes absent on upper half; dark ventral saddle on posterior third of caudal peduncle; prominent dark bands at the tip and through mid caudal fin. Eyes rather narrow; upper eyelid with pale naked patch. Caudal peduncle elongate (18.9-21.8% TL). Denticles extremely dense, very thin, delicate, arranged in poorly defined longitudinal rows. Flank marking base under or slightly forward of second dorsal spine; its posterior branch barely reaching free rear tip of second dorsal fin; central caudal marking absent; finger of caudal base marking very long, more than 7% TL. Monospondylous centra 37-38 (Ref. 45056).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00341 (-0.16422 - 0.17104), b=3.12 (3.02 - 3.22), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100) .
