Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: A 8; pectoral-fin rays 17-18 (modally 17); scale rows above lateral line 5, between last dorsal-fin spine base and lateral line 4-5 (5) and between sixth dorsal-fin spine base and lateral line 4-6 (5); scales on preopercular region 11-22 (mean 15.4); postorbital length 18.1-19.2 (18.7) % SL; males with elongated parietal spine, relatively narrow, strongly falcate posterodorsally, its tip reaching third to seventh dorsal-fin spine bases. Colouration: a blotch above pectoral-fin base and blotches on pectoral-fin membrane are relatively small; males with yellowish median fins and yellow pectoral fin (Ref. 97684).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00440 - 0.02274), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.6 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).
