Etymology: Trigonectes: Greek, trygon = a sting ray + Greek, nekton = swimmer (Ref. 45335); rubromarginatus: From the Latin ruber (red) and marginatus (with margin), referring to the red stripe along the ventral margin of the caudal fin (Ref. 26656).

Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 10-14;
Anal
soft rays: 16 - 18. Distinguished from other species of the genus, except T. strigabundus, by having straight mouth cleft. Differs from T. strigabundus and all other species of the genus by the elongated pelvic fin of the males, whose tip is reaching to the base of 11th to 15th anal rays and the presence of a bright red stripe along the ventral margin of the male caudal fin. Seems to differ from T. strigabundus by having a larger size (Ref. 26656).
Bottom spawner, 8 months incubation (Ref. 27139).

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
