Pempheridae (Sweepers)
Etymology: Pempheris: Greek, pempheris = the name of a fish (Ref. 45335); analis: The name analis refers to the anal fin, but the exact reference is unknown (Ref. 88976).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 5 - 40 m (Ref. 2334). Temperate

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2334)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 6; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9 - 12; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 30 - 38. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: all scales strongly ctenoid (rarely 4 or fewer predorsal scales cycloid); no axillary scale; 63-77 lateral-line scales, usually 65 or more; 22-27 scales below lateral line; 30-38 anal-fin rays; ratio of preanal length to anal-fin base length 1.04-1.27; ratio of pelvic-fin origin to anal-fin origin to anal fin base length 0.28-0.44; anterior light organ associated with pyloric caeca absent (Ref. 88976).
A nocturnal species that form aggregations in caves by day and feeds on zooplankton at night (Ref. 2334). The smallest gravid female found was 8.61 cm SL and the largest 14.94 cm SL. These were found among collections made in October through March, although specimens from the early dates carried immature eggs. The smallest specimens, 3.03-3.18 mm SL from the Kermadecs, were collected in June, suggesting that juveniles settle early in the year. Over its entire range, collections are known from September to June (Ref. 88976).
