Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 70-86; Anal soft rays : 54 - 71; Vertebrae : 58 - 65. Diagnosis: head relatively long (Ref. 248 , 57129 ) and flattened, its length 24.8-28.6% SL (mean 26.2)(Ref. 57129 , 81644 ). Frontal fontanel short and wide (Ref. 57129 , 81644 ), "sole-shaped" (Ref. 248 ), 1.5 times as long as wide (Ref. 81644 ). Lateral cephalic bones (dermosphenotic and supraorbital) becoming contiguous already in young individuals (between 70 and 80 mm SL)(Ref. 248 , 57129 , 81644 ). First gill arch with 11-19 gill rakers (Ref. 57129 , 81644 ). Color pattern usually uniform, occasionally a marbled pattern consisting of various dark brown spots on a light-brown background; head broad and pointed in dorsal outline; tooth plates broad; suprabranchial organ well developed although not completely filling the chamber (Ref. 248 ). Vomerine tooth band a little less short than premaxillary tooth band; pectoral spine serrate only along anterior margin; flank neuromasts arranged in a regular pattern (Ref. 81644 ). Coloration: no information on colour in life (Ref. 57129 , 81644 ). Most preserved specimens uniformly coloured: back and sides light to dark brown, belly beige-white; some specimens have a marbled pattern, with numerous black spots against a lighter background on back and sides, while the belly is beige to yellowish (Ref. 57129 , 81644 ).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00343 - 0.01757), b=2.97 (2.79 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec < 10,000). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown .
