Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: complete cephalic sensory-canal pore system (pattern 1); the fifth pelvic-fin ray 10-40% (usually 20%) of fourth ray; some pectoral-fin rays are branched; dorsal/anal-fin formula 9/8; presence of a prominent occipital spot; dorsal midline of body with a series of small dark spots along the dorsal-fin bases; dark bars present crossing the nape in advance of dorsal fin; caudal-peduncle depth 13.4-14.9% SL (Ref. 107299).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits shallow waters, often including tide pools of exposed seaward reefs (Ref. 37816, 116739), usually in high-tide splash zones and at shallow depths (Ref. 107299).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1537 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 374 [160, 1,182] mg/100g; Iron = 1.74 [0.76, 3.78] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.057, 0.516] g/100g; Selenium = 33.1 [10.6, 89.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 121 [25, 572] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.49 [2.47, 7.46] mg/100g (wet weight);
