Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 16 - 18; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 8-12; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 5 - 9. Diagnosis: snout protuberant; mouth inferior, bearing numerous rows of extremely fine, comb-like, spatulate teeth on both oral jaws; upper lip broad and thick, with a distinctive lip crease (Ref. 81260).

Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.6 ±0.27 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref.
