Épines dorsales (Total) : 11 - 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 16 - 18; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 18 - 20. With fewer than 70 dentary incisors and a reticulated color pattern.

Adults inhabit rocky coasts (Ref. 9280). They feed on plants, small mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 9280). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are deposited in mollusk shells or on rocks (Ref. 9280). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Used to prepare a soup called 'borracho' which evokes slight intoxication and tiredness; these effects, however, are of short duration (Ref. 9280).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.1 - 26.8, mean 20.5 °C (based on 113 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00434 - 0.01522), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Assuming tm=1 and Fec=100-1000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
