Taxonomic Remarks
Research shows that this species is restricted to northwestern Pacific ; Austral-Indonesian records are considered to represent two or three undescribed species (see Ref. 87957); distribution will be resolved (linked to correct species) when publications are received.

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00389 (0.00198 - 0.00766), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.2 ±0.6 se; based on diet studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec=2). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
High vulnerability (58 of 100). 🛈 |
