Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m 11.7 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2115); common length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2115)

Found over a wide range of bottom types from the surface to 100 m, but is more common close to reefs or on rough bottoms. Small individuals are very common at some localities in shallow, sheltered bays; larger fish often occur in deeper water. Important food fish.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.5 - 28.4, mean 25.2 °C (based on 260 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01094 - 0.03474), b=3.00 (2.85 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 45.5 [20.8, 93.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.579 [0.311, 1.146] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [17.9, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.119 [0.073, 0.198] g/100g; Selenium = 37.4 [19.6, 68.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50.4 [12.2, 185.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.02 [0.66, 1.47] mg/100g (wet weight);
