Serranidae (Sea basses: groupers and fairy basslets)
Etymology: Diplectrum: Greek, di = two + Greek, plektron = sting, spur (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; benthopelagic; depth range 13 - 80 m (Ref. 9342). Tropical; 32°N -
Eastern Pacific: Gulf of California to Peru.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 21.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9342)
Biology not known (Ref. 9342). Probably of no commercial interest due to a small median size and because it is apparently scarce.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 18.5 - 28.9, mean 25.2 °C (based on 78 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00598 - 0.01598), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
