Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 5. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: horn-like structure and indistinct elevation at the head-dorsal junction absent; body covered with tiny, partially embedded subcutaneous scales and irregular black markings; wide mouth (7.8-9.3% of standard length) and longer pectoral fin (17.9-30.6% of standard length); last unbranched ray of the dorsal fin with weak serrations along the posterior margin; tip of the pectoral fins not reaching the pelvic-fin origin; complete and curved lateral line with 71-79 pores; and eight gill rakers on the first gill arch (Ref. 137745).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00298 - 0.01397), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 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).
