Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 23 - 25; Anal soft rays: 35 - 37. A single terminal bulb, three times longer than wide (Ref. 37473); 1.1-2.3% SL, with a single, digitate terminal projection 12-90% of bulb length. Bulb and projection combined 1.9-3% SL. Barbel 40-78% SL mostly more than 30%. Axis of stem moderately to darkly pigmented. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented, closely spaced or contiguous distally. A few tiny spheres outside axis proximal to bulb in some specimens; otherwise no spherical or granular inclusions in stem. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin usually 8, sometimes 9 (Ref. 11333).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

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=0.00309 (0.00118 - 0.00808), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.4 ±0.8 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 (31 of 100). 🛈 |
