Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 10; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: scale rows above lateral line 6.5 and between 5th dorsal-fin spine base and lateral line 5½; pored lateral line scales 52- 53; suborbital depth obviously less than the orbit diameter (OD), 72-75% (mean 74%) of OD; dorsal-fin rays are reddish pink with bright yellow margin, anal-fin rays pinkish; no obvious lines of blue spots on body, but usually a blue iridescence in each body scale around dorsal and lateral sides of body from some angles; yellow and red membranes only on upper and lower caudal-fin lobes, respectively (these 2 colors are strongly contrasted; somewhat deeper body, 39-43 (mean 41%) of SL; without bony bulge before and above eye; its caudal fin moderately forked (Ref. 106993).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00974 - 0.04480), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
