Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 1. Diagnosis: adipose fin always present (Ref. 43912, 81643) and fully developed (Ref. 81643). Anterior nostrils closer to each other than to the posterior pair; nasal barbel reaching beyond posterior border of eye, sometimes up to anterior edge of opercle; eyes strikingly large (31-32.7% HL); inner side of pectoral spine strongly serrated; snout projecting beyond mouth (Ref. 43912, 81643).

Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Assuming fec > 10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
