Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10. Single infracaudal organ, and the cleithral symphysis with a forward-directed spine. A small GO1 present. No lateral line canal on posttemporal bone. Dorsal origin ahead of that of anal by about a fourth of its length. Mouth large, posterior margin of maxillary behind eye. Maxillary slightly shallower than posterior supramaxillary and strongly convex ventrally. Supramaxillaries exposed, not covered by infraorbitals.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00154 - 0.01080), b=3.17 (2.95 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±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).
