Épines dorsales (Total) : 8 - 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 25 - 28; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 29 - 34. Dark green dorsally, sides and belly silvery; a series of narrow vertical bars of pale golden pink on body wall; pectoral fins colorless (Ref. 6885). British Columbia specimens dark on end of caudal fin and free edge of spinous dorsal (Ref. 6885).
