Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 38 - 40. Distinguished from all congeners by having the following combination of characters: a circular humeral spot that does not pass ventrally below the lateral-line canal and has a only a diffuse, inconspicuous vertical extension; short scales with a rounded posterior margin at the base of the caudal-fin; melanophores present on the posterior margins of the scales all along the sides of body; a dark lateral stripe, formed by deep pigment that is continuous with the caudal peduncle spot; wide, concave pelvic bone; middle part of the dorsal margin of the orbito-sphenoid bone concave, and not in contact with the frontal; ventral tip of extrascapular bifurcate; first postcleithrum not contacting cleithrum; the portion of maxilla with teeth does not reach the dorsal border of the dentary; all maxillary teeth tricuspid; caudal peduncle spot continuous with the dark lateral stripe; and humeral spot extending on to the posterior part of the opercle (Ref. 95113).

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=0.01479 (0.00653 - 0.03348), b=2.96 (2.77 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 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).
