Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 4 - 5; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10; Vertebrae: 35. Can be diagnosed by the unique combination of characters: nasal ossified with narrow medial
flanges partially sutured to lateral margin of mesethmoid; anal fin rays iii, 6-7; modified anal fin with short tip in mature males; first unbranched anal-fin ray with segments fused, last branched ray normally developed, not reduced; ribs 10; and vertebrae 35. Differs further by the following coloration details: contour of mouth dark, same color as head; posterior border of nuchal
shield usually dark; pectoral-fin spine usually dark brown; body with irregular blotches or stripes; presence of faint stripes or blotches in large specimens ; and caudal fin dark with whitish blotches. Distinguished from Tatia intermedia by having preanal length 70.0-75.0% SL, vs. 65.0-69.4% SL and interorbital distance 54.1-59.4% HL, vs. 60.1-63.6 HL (Ref. 79512).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 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): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
