Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 5 - 8; Anal soft rays: 4 - 6. Characterized by having escal morphology: escal bulb with small rounded, anteriorly to anteroventrally directed papilla on anterior midline, continuous internally with slightly larger posteriorly to posterodorsally directed papilla on dorsal midline; compressed posterior appendage sigmoidal in shape and usually twice as long as escal bulb; darkly pigmented swollen basal part of posterior appendage in specimens 84mm and larger; presence of filaments on posterior appendage, pigmented in specimens 84 mm and larger; dorsal fin rays 5-8; anal fin rays 4-6; pectoral fin rays 17-22 (Ref. 86949).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fecundity assumed < 1000). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100). 🛈 |
