Épines dorsales (Total) : 3 - 4; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 39 - 47; Épines anales: 2 - 3; Rayons mous anaux: 36 - 42; Vertèbres: 28 - 31. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: in fresh specimens, with a conspicuous dark spot over the eyes, from snout to nape (vs. indistinct marking); pre-caudal vertebrae 11-12 (vs. 13 or more, rarely 12 except P. xanthurus); total vertebrae 28-29 (vs. 30 or more in P. medius, P. ovatus, P. simillimus, P. snyderi); body height 58.5?74.1% SL (vs. 33.0?52% SL in P. burti, P. ovatus, P. simillimus, P. snyderi, P. triacanthus); dorsal fin moderately falcate (vs. not falcate in P. triacanthus, or conspicuously falcate in P. paru); anal fin falcate (vs. not falcate in P. simillimus, P. ovatus, P. snyderi, P. burti, P. triacanthus); front half of the body under the dorsal fin without series of pores (vs. 17?25 conspicuous pores in P. triacanthus); differs from sympatric P. crenulatus by having an orbital diameter of 1.6?5.0 in anal-fin height (vs. 5.1-8.0) for individuals smaller than 11.0 cm SL and 3.2-5.2 (vs. 5.5-9.2) for specimens larger than 10.9 cm SL; orbital diameter 3.2-3.8 in pectoral-fin height (vs. 3.9-5.9), in the specimens larger than 10.9 cm SL; and orbital diameter 1.1-1.4, rarely 1.5 in post-orbital length (vs. 1.5-2.3) (Ref. 116249).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00624 - 0.03346), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).

Peprilus xanthurus (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825)
