Etymology: Heteropriacanthus: Greek, heteros = other + Greek, prion = saw + greek, akantha = thorn (Ref. 45335); fulgens: Name from Latin fulgens meaning shining or glittering, probably referring to the silver white reticulate pattern on the body when alive.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 13 - 14. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: body relatively deep and oval, its body depth at pectoral fin base 2.3-2.4 in SL, at mid-trunk 2.1-2.3 in SL; dorsal-fin origin is above or slightly anterior to the pectoral fin base; preopercle with a short and pointed triangular spine not or nearly reaching the posterior margin of the interopercle; dorsal-fin base, 1.6-1.7 in SL; anal-fin base, 2.3-2.6 in SL, relatively long; eye small, its diameter 2.4-2.6 in HL; interorbital space is broad, its width 3.0-3.3% HL; head length 1.2-1.5 in body depth; caudal-peduncle length 3.0-3.8 in body depth; pored lateral-line scales 60-65; lateral scale rows along the body axis 85-89; transversal scales rows 12-15 + 47-51 = 59-66 (Ref. 115564).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.02239 (0.00924 - 0.05422), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.8 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
