Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 16 - 18; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Distinguished by the following characteristics: dark red or brown head and body; darker pectoral fins than body; tips of interspinous dorsal fin membranes darker than the rest of the membranes; prominent black moustache streak occurs above maxilla; depth of body contained 2.4-2.6 times in SL; head length 2.3-2.4 times in SL; convex interorbital area; rounded preopercle, finely serrate, enlarged serrae at angle but covered by skin; distinctly convex upper edge of operculum (Ref. 89707).
Common in the Gulf of California. Occasionally encountered in isolated reefs and sandy bottoms near the coast at depths of 46 to 90 m; uncommon in shallow waters (Ref. 89707).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17 - 26, mean 19.9 °C (based on 16 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00607 - 0.01892), b=3.03 (2.88 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 39.8 [16.6, 82.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.73 [0.39, 1.41] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.0, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.353 [0.211, 0.601] g/100g; Selenium = 30.9 [14.9, 65.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 12.5 [3.6, 49.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.516 [0.363, 0.769] mg/100g (wet weight);
