Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: body deep and compressed; D XI,10; the first spine rudimentary (only 1 dorsal-fin spine on first dorsal pterygiophore), second to fifth spines (4 or 5) very elongate and flattened in juveniles 10-20 cm SL (second spine often reaching beyond last dorsal soft ray, becoming shorter and reaching 1st soft dorsal-fin ray base in specimens ca. 30 cm SL); second spine longer than head length, reaching beyond first soft dorsal-fin ray; orbit diameter clearly less than suborbital depth; pupil diameter subequal to or clearly less than preorbital length (adults, ca. 30 cm SL; juveniles, ca. 20 cm SL); rear margin of the upper jaw reaches a vertical beyond anterior rim of pupil; body bars faint reddish and not present at ca. 20 cm SL; all fins reddish hyaline (Ref. 124569).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00974 - 0.04480), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
