Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 66-76; Raggi anali molli: 50 - 61; Vertebre: 40 - 44. The species is distinguished by the following: vertebrae 10-13 + 29-32 = 40-44, dorsal fin rays 66-76, anal fin rays 50-61, outer pseudoclasper spinelike with two distinct supporters, anterior being 1/2 length of posterior, posterior extruding; inner pseudoclasper slender consisting mainly of supporter which is about length of anterior supporter of outer pseudoclasper, directed backward; penis with abrupt change from a thick base to a thin outer part; opercular spine with a single, sharp tip; narrow scale patch on cheeks with 5-10 vertical scale rows; otolith very slender (length: height ratio 2.4-2.6); posterior mandibular pores are large (Ref. 57883).

Collected over sand, weed, and coral or rocky bottom; including tide pools. A 55 mm SL female (USNM 322029) specimen contained about 150 eggs about 0.5 mm in diameter and 19 embryos, 6-8 mm TL, with two rows of 9-11 small pigment spots along dorsal and anal fin bases (Ref. 57883).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.3 - 28, mean 25 °C (based on 141 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
