Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 98 - 104; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 72-76; Ryggkotor: 53 - 55. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: a broad, black
band from the eye to behind the pectoral fin and several light spots dorsally on the head and body as large as the eye; pelvic fins inserted below end of upper jaw; prepelvic length 10.5–13.0% SL; scale rows between origin of dorsal fin and lateral line 14-15; anterior gill arch with 9-11 long rakers; pseudobranchial filaments 30-42; pectoral-fin rays 23–26; anterior dorsal fin ray in front of or above vertebra 1 except for one above vertebra 3; dorsal fin with 3 ocelli; a black band on anal fin leaving a thin unpigmented margin (Ref. 98314).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref.
