Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosis: Pored lateral-line scales 81-85; scales above lateral line 8.5-9.5; scales below lateral line 10.5-11.5. Posterior tip of maxilla nor or just reaching to below anterior nostril. Posterior tip of opercle obtuse just above level of pectoral-fin base. A single row of scales in the suborbital groove not covered with skin. Two distinct longitudinal stripes on the side of the body with fresh (upper stripe usually lost in preserved specimens); lower stripe especially distinct, running from tip of snout through upper part of pectoral-fin base, extending to caudal-fin base just below lateral line; membrane of first dorsal fin entirely transparent (Ref. 54823).

A shallow coastal water inhabitant (Ref. 54823).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00314 - 0.01595), b=2.91 (2.74 - 3.08), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±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 to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100) .
