Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Characterised by a superior lip edge slightly nothched in between the three notches which are not very marked; a black line in between the middle of the eye and the grin; tiny scales on the anterior part of the body and the nape; 66 to 70 lateral scale rows; a black oval spot at the base of the caudal rays and at the tip of the caudal fin in male. Head rounded; snout profile clearly convex; maxilla reaching or almost reaching the anterior edge of the eye. Superior lip with a median notch and a lateral one on each side at the nostril level; edge of the lip very finely notched. Two close dorsal fins, the third spine of the first dorsal is elongated, especially in males; pelvic fins joint in one oval disc, free from the abdomen, at the back of the pelvic plate (Ref. 12767).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
