Etymology: Pomacentrus: Greek, poma, -atos = cover, operculum + Greek, kentron = sting (Ref. 45335); mandacani: Name 'mandacani' in honor of His Excellency Dominggus Mandacan, for his vision and leadership in designating West Papua as the world’s first Conservation Province and pledging protection for 70% of its forests and 50% of its marine ecosystems, including Cendrawasih Bay where this species occurs exclusively.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13 - 15; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 14 - 15; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: dorsal-fin elements usually XIII,13-15 (usually 13 or 14); anal-fin elements II, 14-15; pectoral rays 17-19 (rarely 19); tubed lateral-line scales 15-18; total gill rakers on first arch 19-22; body depth 1.9-2.2 (mean 2.0) in SL; scales absent on preorbital and suborbital; lower margin of suborbital series with 2-11 serrae; colour of adult in life brown on back, mainly white on side of body below lateral line, and bright blue lines dorsally on head; and dorsal fin brown, caudal fin whitish to translucent, anal fin white with brown anterior margin, and pelvic fins pale brownish (Ref. 138626).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01445 (0.00630 - 0.03316), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
2.8 ±0.3 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.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈 |
