Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 79 - 84; Raggi anali molli: 57 - 64; Vertebre: 34 - 35. This species is distinguished by the following characters: gill rakers with spines; maxilla large 2.21-2.43 in HL, extending to vertical through anterior 1/3 to 1/2 of lower eye; interorbital width narrow in both sexes, with that of males wider than in females and juveniles; pectoral fin on ocular-side filamentous, greatly elongate in males and with two dark cross bands; ventral margin of lower jaw on ocular-side with 3 distinct black spots, the posteriormost especially distinct (Ref. 126076). Description. D 79-84, A 57-64, pectoral-fin rays on ocular-side 10-12, on blind-side 8-9, caudal-fin rays 3 + 11 + 3, pelvic-fin rays on ocular-side 6, blind-side rays 6; lateral line scales 46-52; gill rakers 0 + 6-7; vertebrae 10 + 24-25 (Ref. 126076).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.4 - 29.1, mean 28.2 (based on 1428 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00408 - 0.02036), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), 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

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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