Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-9; Anal soft rays: 10; Vertebrae: 29 - 30. Distinguished from all its congeners by the following characters: membranous hook of the gonopodium ray 3 weakly developed and distally faintly bent; subdistal plate-like membranous process on gonopodium ray 3 faintly developed; distal spines of gonopodium ray 3 long and densely crowded; tip of gonopodium ray 4p reaching the tip of the membranous hook. Can be diagnosed also by having the following unique combination of characters: gonopodium length short; frequency distribution of SL/GL radius (standandard length/gonopodium length radius) 3.30 - 3.60; 11- 12 gill rakers; and 8-9 rays on the dorsal fin (Ref. 87322).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
