Eastern Indian Ocean: off northern Western Australia but probably more widespread in the eastern Indian Ocean and Timor Sea.

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.8 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 106145)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 385; Anal soft rays: 357; Vertebrae: 142. Distinguished by the high vertebral count (total 142, predorsal 12, preanal 42, precaudal 58), combined with the distinctive saddle-shaped pigmentation on the nape of the neck; overall coloration is much lighter than its congeners with the dorsal pigmentation being light brown to tan rather than the dark brown to grayish brown and ventral tip of its tail is relatively unpigmented rather than dark brown to black (Ref. 106145).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
