Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 63-72; Raggi anali molli: 49 - 56; Vertebre: 40 - 41. The species is characterized by having the following: Vertebrae 11 + 29-30 = 40-41, dorsal fin rays 63-72, anal fin rays 49-56; small eyes (1.4-2.6, x = 1.9 % SL); outer pseudoclasper broad wing-shaped with slightly expanded tip; inner pseudoclasper with two stout branches, anterior pointing forward, posterior straight, with fleshy lobe in between, penis with abrupt change from thick base to thin tip; opercular spine with single, sharp tip, no scales on cheeks; otolith elongate, length: height ratio 2.4 (Ref. 57883).

Inhabits rocky and sandy bottoms. A 63 mm SL female specimen (USNM 375546) contained 160 embryos, 4-5 mm TL, with three short rows of small pigment spots posteriorly on the body. No eggs. A 55 mm SL female (SIO 65-185) contained about 600 eggs, 0.5 mm in diameter (Ref. 57883).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23 - 26.6, mean 24.3 °C (based on 56 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
