Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 79512)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 5; Anal soft rays: 10; Vertebrae: 38 - 39. Diagnosed from all congeners by having the following characters: a short cranial fontanel, with the opening restricted to the frontals; a genital papilla with thick flap of skin around the deferent duct in males; and a notched anal fin in adult males. Differs further from other species of the genus by having nasal bone partially sutured to lateral margin of mesethmoid; 7-8 branched rays on anal fin; 10-11 ribs; and 38-39 post-Weberian vertebrae. Other distinguishing characters include: third nuchal plate well projected laterally with curved tip; and caudal-fin lobes of mature females similar in length, but mature males with slightly elongated upper lobe (Ref. 79512).

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=0.00646 (0.00304 - 0.01372), b=3.14 (2.95 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (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).
