Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished from all other species of Butidae by the following set of characters: upper and lower jaws with enlarged canine teeth (5 and 12, respectively); canines are in the outermost tooth row in the upper and anterior lower jaw, while canines are placed in the inner tooth row in the posterior lower jaw; upper jaw ending below center of the eye; interorbital sensory pore D paired with wide interval; fourth infraocular transverse row of sensory papillae crossed with a longitudinal row on the cheek; longitudinal scales 103; transverse scales 32; predorsal scales 63; transverse scales at caudal peduncle 21; circumpeduncle scales 39; D VI-I,10; A I, 8; pectoral-fin rays 17; predorsal length 38.2% of SL; body depth at anal-fin origin 18.4% of SL; eye diameter 3.3% of SL. Colouration: unpaired fin rays variegated by small blackish spots; a red spot on the upper part of the caudal-fin base when fresh (Ref. 129074).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00450 - 0.02327), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.7 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 (24 of 100).
