Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0. Diagnosis: adipose fin moderate size, origin behind pelvics; colour uniform dark brown, caudal fin black with narrow yellow band across base and distal edge; eyes widely spaced (interorbital width 2.6-4.0 times orbit diameter); origin of dorsal fin one head length behind head; dorsal fin base before origin of pelvic fins; dorsal fin leading ray extends full length of leading edge of fin; caudal fin with 6+7 principal rays; caudal peduncle 0.9-1.4 times longer than deep; snout relatively short, less than half length of head, equal to or shorter than post-orbit length; eyes placed equidistant from hind margin of head and tip of snout (mid-way along head) or nearer to tip of snout (Ref. 81646).

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=0.01000 (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).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
