Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11-12; Raggi anali molli: 9. Differs from its congeners by the following characters: one longitudinal and discontinuous narrow dark brown stripe running inconspicuously from a vertical through middle of dorsal fin to base of caudal peduncle along lateral line; two or three large dark brown vertically elongated blotches along middle trunk: first at the vertical through dorsal-fin, second anterior to adipose fin and third on the caudal peduncle; mainly in young specimens, 12-13 short transversal dark brown bars meeting small dark brown blotches laterally; snout length 39  to 47.6% in head length; orbital diameter 21.4  to 27.8% of head length; body depth 21.6  to 26.0% of SL; sub-inferior mouth (inferior margin of superior lip horizontally aligned with the inferior margin of infraorbital bones); 4 teeth on each premaxillary and dentary; teeth gross incisive-like, forming an arched cutting edge, decreasing in size from the symphysal largest pair; 40 to 42 scales in the lateral line, 5,5  or 6 scales series above and 5 under lateral line and 16 circumpeduncular series of scales (Ref. 80692).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.4   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
