Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 133-141; Raggi anali molli: 112 - 121; Vertebre: 74 - 77. This species have the following characteristics: pyloric caeca usually 7-8 in 1 or 2 whorls, typically 6+2; usually 3 rudimentary gill rakers on the upper arm of the first arch, 4-5 developed rakers on lower arm, usually 2-3 rudimentary rakers anteriorly on the lower arm; total gill rakers 9-13; dorsal-fin origin between neural spines 3-4; head and body uniformly dusky; pectoral fins clear; dorsal and anal fins clear with a dark edge, most developed in the anal fin; posterior part of the roof of the mouth, upper pharyngeal region, and gill bars are blackish; esophagus, caeca, and anterior part of the intestine are blackish (Ref. 91765).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.6 - 14, mean 8.4 °C (based on 4 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.7 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 (14 of 100).
