Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 7. Upper side grey or brown with poorly defined black spots and saddles. Belly yellow to white. Tiny jet-black pepper spots (about 1 mm in diameter) scattered over most of pigmented surface, particularly evident on cheeks. Lower sides with a row of black, elongate, bar-like markings. No lappets on head or body (Ref 53033).

Inhabits bays, estuaries and protected coastal waters. Sold as `sea squab' in northern part of range. Feeds primarily on shellfish, occasionally on finfish. Reportedly non-toxic.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.9 - 24.4, mean 9.3 (based on 71 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01026 - 0.05115), b=2.89 (2.72 - 3.06), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.66 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (K=0.6).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Low.
