Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 127-131; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 101 - 106; Vertebrae: 149 - 153. Color when preserved, head and body yellowish tan; all fin membranes hyaline; dusky dermal process on tip of each jaw clearly remained. Body extremely elongated, ribbon-like. Top of supraoccipital crest situated vertically above posterior margin of eye. Very slightly pigmented on upper part of anterior dorsal fin membranes. Posterior margin of preopercle clearly visible because clearly projected externally, but anterior margin of preopercle not clear. First anal fin spine base situated below 32nd-35th dorsal fin ray base (Ref. 44252).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00191 (0.00076 - 0.00476), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.7 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 (24 of 100) .
