Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: D XI,11, total rays 22, with the first dorsal-fin spine much shorter than the second, their bases close together; A I,9, total rays 11; head depth 13.7% of SL; eye is moderately low set on head (horizontal line through top of snout bulge level with ventral margin of pupil in 7.77 cm SL specimen); anterior and posterior lacrimal spines are blunt, tips of both spines canted ventrally; pore above pectoral-fin base associated with short, rounded skin flap. Colouration: body entirely pale pink or yellow with narrow dusky stripe centrally,no oblique alternating dark and light stripes; inner surface of pectoral fin largely bright yellow (whitish in preserved specimens) basally with dark stripes along rays, the distal part largely yellow (whitish) when fresh (Ref. 128010).
Cross section: compressed.

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=0.01096 (0.00417 - 0.02880), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
