Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 4 - 5; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 25 - 28; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 18. Lunate caudal fin with elongated lobes in large adults; body coloration bright yellow, head somewhat greenish dorsally; dorsal fin with faint greenish stripe; axil of pectoral fin with dark spot; caudal fin transparent at centroposterior area with translucent dusky rays. Doral rays IV-V (rarely V), 25-28 but typically 27; segmented caudal rays 11-12 (typically 11); with lateral line (Ref. 54980).

Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

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=0.00562 (0.00258 - 0.01228), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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