Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Malacoctenus polyporosus differs from Malacoctenus hubbsi by the following characters: symphysial pores 2-10 usually 5-7 (vs. 1-3, usually 1 or 3); lateral line scales 49-56, usually 50-53 (vs. 51-61, usually 54-58); and by the number of anal-fin rays (Ref. 82814).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00196 - 0.01224), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), 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
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
