Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal soft rays: 21 - 25; Vertebrae: 33. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: flank uniformly colored, without spots, i.e., no humeral and caudal spots, just a tiny and narrow longitudinal stripe; premaxillary teeth in two rows: outer with three to five tricuspid teeth, inner with five tetra- pentacuspid teeth; a narrow silvery/yellowish longitudinal stripe on flank, with slightly blackish upper eye portion in in vivo specimens; pored lateral-line scales 12-15 (mode 15); branched anal-fin rays 21-25 (mode 22); and small bony hooks on the tip of lepidotrichia of the second to fourth branched pelvic-fins rays present, these absent from the anal fin (Ref. 138764).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.

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=0.00589 (0.00226 - 0.01533), b=3.16 (2.94 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.4 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.). |
