Centrarchiformes (Basses) >
Latridae (Trumpeters)
Etymology: Pseudogoniistius: Named for its superficial similarity with those of Goniistius, and for the confusion that this species has caused with morwong classification in the past (Randall 1983)..

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15 - 18.6, mean 17.4 °C (based on 160 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00560 - 0.02463), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.39 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
