Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 10; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17. Metzia parva is distinguished from all other congeners by the following characters: smaller body size, 48.3-57.7 mm SL (vs. 58.3-151.4 mm SL); lateral line complete, but interrupted in some specimens along ventral margin above anal-fin; anal fin with 12-14 branched rays (vs. 10-11 or 15-20); pectoral fin with 10 branched rays (vs. 11-16); pelvic fin with 6 branched rays (vs. 7-9); longer caudal peduncle 17.8-21.7% SL (vs. 14.8-17.4% SL); shorter preanal length 60.9-66.0% SL (vs. 69.0-73.0% SL); and interorbital width distinctly larger 28.4-33.0% HL (vs. 20.2-24.7% HL) (Ref. 104754).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00415 - 0.01826), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
