Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 12. Characterized by generally whitish body color with three black stripes on upper two-thirds of head and body; presence of diffuse narrow bars on side; first and second dorsal fin equal in height; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 60; fully scaled predorsal region; scales dorsally on opercle, absent on cheek; ctenoid body scales; cycloid scales on nape, abdomen, and opercle; depth of body 4.5-4.8 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
PD₅₀ = 0.5001 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
2.8 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278)
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153)
Low vulnerability (14 of 100)

Price category (Ref. 80766)
Very high
