Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 23 - 26; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 22; Vértebra: 32 - 35. Narrow interorbital distance (29-65 thousandths of SL), usually less than the diameter of the orbit (60-104 thousandths of SL), versus usually equal to or wider than the orbit diameter in other Opsanus species. Similar to O. phobetron, both usually have the posterior part of lower half of the mouth darkly pigmented in specimens over 7 cm SL. Upper lateral-line papillae 26, lower 23. Pectoral fin glands 12, starting between uppermost 2 pectoral fin-rays (Ref. 41041).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 26.6 - 28.3, mean 27.5 °C (based on 256 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00180 - 0.01212), b=3.12 (2.90 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278):  3.5   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Referencia 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
