Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults are found in shallow protected reefs, usually in intertidal areas (Ref. 9710). Often seen in tidepools (Ref. 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvae

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2216 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 247 [117, 475] mg/100g; Iron = 1.09 [0.59, 2.02] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [16.6, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.0794 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 19.9 [8.5, 48.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 121 [28, 512] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.39 [2.12, 5.14] mg/100g (wet weight);
