Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10 - 11; Vertebrae: 38 - 41. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: premaxillary ascending process is long and somewhat narrow, widest point at proximal half; posterior part of maxilla almost straight, not slanting down, with angular upper posterior corner; palatines toothless; anus positioned slightly anterior to pelvic-fin tip (including holotype) or just at the tip (rarely); head length 28-31% SL; upper jaw length 10-11% SL; eye diameter 11-12% SL; postorbital length of head 10-12% SL; distance from snout to pectoral fin tip 45-49% SL; midlateral band is almost straight (Ref. 92295).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.

Collected with a stick held dip net (Ref. 92295).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.4 - 29.3, mean 28.9 °C (based on 924 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00240 - 0.01320), b=3.15 (2.95 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
