Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 19-20; Anal soft rays: 14 - 16. This species is distinguished by the following characters: dorsal-fin spines 3; body is naked; a funnel-shaped pit at the top of the pectoral-fin axil; lower gill opening well below the lower pectoral-fin base; subopercular spines 2; a single tentacle located above the posterior portion of the eye; no maxillary flaps; anterior nasal tentacle not elongate; dorsal-fin rays usually 20, anal-fin rays usually 16. This species differs from C. dussumieri in having 1 instead of 2 or more tentacles above the eye; differs from both C. occidentalis and C. dussumieri in having yellow-orange fins; differs from C. occidentalis in usually having 16 instead of 15 anal-fin rays and 20 instead of 19 dorsal-fin rays, and in having a slightly smaller (1-2% SL) eye (Ref. 91323).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.1 - 29.4, mean 28.7 °C (based on 191 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
