The catalog's scalar value is 30 cm. The MOBS marine organism body-size database source reports a maximum adult measurement of 30 cm for this species, recorded as the dataset's reported length dimension. These figures are not interchangeable: the first is the profile's editorial reference, whereas the second is a published maximum under a specific measurement convention; differences among sources can reflect sex, population, life stage and measuring method.
