Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 15; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: 14-16 total gill rakers (GR) on first arch including rudiments; snout length is rather small, 11.8-13 % SL; upper jaw large, 18.8-23.2% SL; pectoral fins long, 35.3-38.8% SL, pelvic fins, 26.8-27.4 % SL; pelvic fins do not reach anal fin; body colour basically dark brown with anterior violet speckles, lines, and a well-marked dot over the rear edge of opercle, no distinct dark spots (nose, pectoral-fin base, and caudal peduncle) (Ref. 92994).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
This species currently has no information on ecology except that it is found in shallow waters less than 20 m, where it is hooked by fishermen (Ref. 92994).
