Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: upper jaw is long with posterior tip beyond the first pectoral-fin insertion ray, but not reaching to the posteriormost pectoral-fin insertion; first supramaxilla minute and oval; branched rays of dorsal fin 10-11 (modally 11), anal fin 34-37 (34), pectoral fin 11-13 (12); transverse scales 10; scale rows in longitudinal series 38-41 (39); gill rakers on first gill arch, in upper series 15-17 (15), lower series 20-24 (21), total 35-41 (36); gill rakers on second gill arch, in upper series13-15 (14), lower series 21-24 (22), total 34-39 (35); gill rakers on third gill arch, in upper series 12-13 (12), lower series 12-14 (13), total 24-27 (25); gill rakers on fourth gill arch, in upper series 8-11 (11), lower series 11-12 (12), total 19-23 (23); body is rather deep, with depth 26.6-29.4% SL; head is rather long, its length
26.2-27.3% SL; pectoral fin long, its length 19.5-21.3% SL; pelvic fin is rather short, with length 7.8-8.6% SL; lower jaw long, its length 19.0-20.3% SL; dorsal-fin base is rather long, its length 9.6-10.9% SL; anal-fin base is short, with length 28.6-33.1%; distances from snout to pectoral-fin insertion 28.3-29.7% SL, snout to pectoral-fin insertion 42.8-46.6% SL and snout to anal-fin insertion 63.5-67.0% SL (Ref. 128122).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00173 - 0.00873), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
