Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 18; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 34. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XI,16-18 (usually 17); pectoral rays 17-18; lateral-line scales usually 49-52; gill rakers 25-29; caudal fin is slightly emarginate; the membranes of spinous portion of dorsal fin slightly incised; the third or fourth dorsal spines longest, 2.5-3.2 in head length; soft portion of anal fin is distinctly angular, with third or fourth ray longest, 1.8-2.7 in HL. Colouration: head, body, and fins whitish with numerous, small, close-set, dark brown spots, becoming more widely spaced on the abdomen and ches and the posterior margin of caudal fin without a narrow, clear whitish margin (Ref. 93732).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00571 - 0.02419), b=3.04 (2.88 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.6 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): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
