Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 18; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 20. Live color unknown. Preserved specimen evenly pale tan with diffuse dark spot on anterior dorsal spines and another larger spot on about 10th dorsal spine. Lacking ecological information. Shortest pelvic ray < half length of longest ray; segmented caudal rays 13; lateral line tubes absent; lacking head cirri; 4 interorbital sensory pores; dorsal and anal fins unattached to caudal fin; gill opening extending ventrally to point opposite level of ventralmost pectoral-fin ray; body depth about 5.4 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
