Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished by the following: D IX, 12; A III, 12; pectoral rays 13; lateral-line scales 75-78; gill rakers 5-6 + 12-14; body depth 3.6-4.35 in SL; dorsal fin of terminal male not elevated anteriorly; truncate to slightly emarginate caudal fin; fin length 1.45-1.65 in HL; color of initial phase gray-brown with a dark brown stripe from behind eye, twice as broad as orbit, narrowing to less than orbit diameter anteriorly on caudal peduncle, then expanding to a large triangle twice orbit diameter in height on base of caudal fin; upper and lower edges of caudal fin broadly dusky; remaining fins translucent; terminal male more melanistic, the dark stripe obscure, the caudal lobes as dark as base of fin; dorsal fin dark brown with narrow pale margin, grading to dusky on about posterior fourth of fin (Ref. 75622).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
