Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 16; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. Body light bluish to greenish dorsally, white ventrally. 3-4 scales on cheek; 19-25 predorsal scales; scaled dorsal and anal fins; Supra-temporal band of scales continuous at dorsal midline. Upper peduncular scale rows usually 11 (11-12); lower peduncular scale rows usually 15 (14-15). A small process on basioccipital for attachment of Baudelot's ligament. Post maxillary process single; posterior end of maxilla blunt.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits coastal areas, primarily around coral reefs. Forms aggregations in midwater and feeds on zooplankton. Oviparous, with numerous, small pelagic eggs (Ref. 402).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.5 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 130 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00551 - 0.02875), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 76.6 [50.3, 121.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.84 [0.54, 1.24] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.142 [0.095, 0.210] g/100g; Selenium = 28.4 [17.8, 49.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 112 [46, 285] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.29 [0.93, 1.74] mg/100g (wet weight);
