Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. This species is distinguished by the following characters: with a scaled predorsal midline; first dorsal fin with an elongated second spine (to middle of second dorsal fin or farther when abducted); fifth pelvic-fin ray with one dichotomous branch point; branched pectoral-fin rays 6-9; anal-fin rays 8 or 9; bony interorbital 30-42% pupil width with posterolateral trench not reaching papilla 'p' 6; opercular scales absent (1 with 1), and cheek row c with 6 papillae. Colouration: body pale pink to off-white when freshly collected, scale pockets outlined with chromatophores, dorsum with about 7 red to yellow saddles, with ventral counterparts along anal-fin base and onto caudal peduncle, and when preserved, head and body pale straw-colored (Ref. 128698).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
