Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 42 - 46. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: elongate and usually cylindrical body; branched dorsal fin rays 8-9, the last unbranched dorsal-fin ray weakly ossified and serrated in 1/3-3/4 of its length; total pelvic fin rays 8-10 (modally 9); small scales, scales in the lateral-line series 63-79, scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line 11-16 (modally 14 and 15), scales between anal-fin origin and lateral line 7-10 (modally 8 and 9), circumpeduncular scales 23-28 (modally 24 and 26); gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch 9-15 (modally 10-11); total vertebrae 42-46 (modally 43-44). Colouration: light golden-yellowish or silvery-greyish body coloration in life; presence of a few black blotches on the body of some specimens (Ref. 129199).
Cross section: oval.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00468 - 0.01229), b=2.90 (2.76 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.5   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100). 🛈
