Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Vertebrae: 39 - 40. Differs from congeners in having a unique combination of the following characters: adipose fin in the form of a long, low ridge (length of adipose-fin base 37.5-44.6% SL); a smooth posterior edge of the pectoral spine; poorly developed pinnate processes along the median caudal-fin rays; caudal fin deeply forked; body depth at anus 13.1-15.0% SL; head depth 10.6-13.6% SL; eye diameter 9.4-11.8% HL; 39-40 vertebrae; and body with uniform coloration (Ref. 56932).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00254 - 0.01302), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
