Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 30 - 32; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 21 - 23. Caudal peduncle with a strong keel formed of enlarged and fused scales. Scaleless areas above and behind the eyes. Lateral line in adults obsolete. Fins of juveniles very long. Attains 70 cm SL.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 12.7 - 26.1, mean 18.6 (based on 1171 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Fec > 10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (56 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.
