Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9-10; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10; Vertebre: 26 - 27. The species lacks a series of vertical stripes along its body sides; males with a large black spot near the base of the gonopodium. Lower pharyngeal bone with a total number of 150 teeth (mean value); conical teeth of ceratobranchial 4, concentrated near the medial region and not extending at the side-arms. The scissor-like shaped gonopodium tip is rounded and strongly curved downward; ray 3 with strongly reduced spines; knob-like wings present dorsally on gonactinosts 5 and 6 of the gonopodial suspensorium (Ref. 42984).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00344 - 0.03497), b=3.08 (2.83 - 3.33), 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
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
