Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal soft rays: 9. Differs from other congeners by the following characters: one longitudinal narrow brown stripe running along lateral line, light brown on the first 10-11  scales after opercular opening and dark brown along the posterior remaining scales of lateral line; 11-13 short transverse dark brown bars on dorsum meeting small dark brown blotches; snout length 38.4 to 50.6% in head length; orbital diameter 24.6 to 30.9% in head length; body depth 17.7 to 24.6% of SL; sub- inferior mouth (inferior margin of superior lip horizontally aligned with the inferior margin of orbit); teeth elongated incisive-like and with a fine and straight cutting edge decreasing in size like the steps of stairs from teeth pair of jaw symphysis; 4/4 teeth on each premaxillary and dentary; 42 to 44 scales in the lateral line, 6 scales series above and 5 under the lateral line on the transverse line and 16 circumpeduncular series of scales (Ref. 80692).

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=0.00776 (0.00356 - 0.01695), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.5   ±0.1 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).
