Max length : 40.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397); 30.0 cm TL (female); common length : 30.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4742); Età massima riportata: 20 anni (Ref. 35388)

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in the algal zone of rocky shores (Ref. 35388). Usually solitary or in pairs with young. Females lay about 1,000 eggs in a nest of algae; the nest is guarded by the male (Ref. 35388). Feed mainly on crustaceans but also fishes and mollusks (Ref. 4742) and worms (Ref. 35388). Oviparous (Ref. 205).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Males build dish shaped nests and guard the eggs (Ref. 205). Sex reversal is completed in 7 months (Ref. 34185, 34259).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7 - 17.1, mean 10 °C (based on 279 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00509 - 0.01424), b=3.10 (2.96 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.62 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 8.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
