Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit the littoral zone in seagrass beds and around rocks (Ref. 5292). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Males build dish shaped nests and guard the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.9 - 18.9, mean 11.3 °C (based on 182 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00661 - 0.01659), b=3.09 (2.96 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 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. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 42.9 [20.1, 91.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.643 [0.355, 1.264] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [16.2, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.235 [0.136, 0.409] g/100g; Selenium = 12.4 [6.1, 24.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 84.6 [24.9, 352.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.06 [0.68, 1.84] mg/100g (wet weight);
