This species belonging to the G. giuris complex is distinguished from G. giuris sensu stricto by each of the sensory papilla lines being composed of single rows (vs. 2-3 rows or more in several lines), absence or very short (often only a few papillae long) sensory papilla line 6 (vs. row 6 always present and long), lower pre-dorsal scale counts 7-16 (vs. 15-24), gill rakers on outer face of first arch 1+1+9-11 usually 1+1+10 (vs. 1-2+1+6-9, usually 1-2+1+7-8) (Ref. 129114).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
