Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 13. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D XIII,10-11 (uncommon 10); A II,12-13 (rare 13); pectoral-fin rays 14-15 (usually 15); gill rakers on first branchial arch 9-10 + 19-21 = 29-31; tubed lateral-line scales 13-16 (usually 14); preorbital+suborbital scales 0-10 (mean 4.4). Colouration: when alive, small juveniles are light blue on head and anterodorsal body, bright yellow on remainder of body and adjacent fins; adults are greyish brown on head, nape, and anterodorsal body, bright yellow with numerous small turquoise to whitish spots on posteroventral body (Ref. 106687).
