Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 16; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 5. Body creamy tan with prominent dark brown band crossing the body from notch in dorsal fin to base of anal fin spines; depth 32-34% SL. Head moderately sized 37-39% SL. Eyes 27-30% HL.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.00780 - 0.04657), b=3.03 (2.82 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
