Length at first maturity / Size / Vikt / Age

Maturity: Lm 15.5  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 7360); common length : 30.0 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 6761)

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

In shallow water along rocky shores. Feed on algae and small invertebrates (Ref. 6761, 56146). Herbivore species with specialized pharyngeal bones and muscles (Ref. 52194, 52195). Breeding occurs from July to September, with juveniles recruiting in late summer in Portugal (Ref. 56146).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Ägg | Fecundity | Larver

Males matured at the same ages and sizes as did females, and size ranges of males and females overlapped, strongly suggesting gonochorism for this species (Ref. 103751).
