Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 25-27; Anal soft rays: 22 - 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D III,25-27; A 22-25; pectoral rays 14-15 (usually 14); body scale rows 33-39; head scale rows 25-32; upper and lower rays of the caudal fin are greatly produced in filaments; cheek with 3 or 4 longitudinal grooves. Colouration: proximal part of spinous dorsal fin is dark brown; body without yellow/pale blue spots or yellow reticulations; ground color of body is dark brown dorsally, mottled with irregular pale markings, then becoming white ventrally; cheek is brown with greenish tinge (Ref. 54835).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.8 - 26.9, mean 23.9 °C (based on 268 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01232 - 0.05364), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
