Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 75-81; Raggi anali molli: 53 - 56; Vertebre: 68 - 71. This species is distinguished from is congeners by the following characters: first gill arch with 3-4 developed gill rakers; D 75-81; precaudal vertebrae 31-32; anal fin origin below vertebrae 32-36. Colouration: black pigmentation laterally in the roof of the mouth, very distinct from the outside as a black area half the head length between the eye and the upper jaw (Ref. 105129).

A rare species (Ref. 34024). Viviparous (Ref. 6527). All four male specimens with developed reproductive organ indicating internal fertilization, and a tentatively referred specimen is a female with distended, 15 mm long ovaries containing large eggs (0.7 mm) (Ref. 105129). A ripe female with eggs (ca. 1 mm diameter), caught in Hunter Commonwealth Marine Reserve, NSW, is the largest known specimen (Ref. 128809).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00179 - 0.01169), b=3.10 (2.87 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
