Eastern Pacific: Gulf of California to Ecuador and northern Peru. Also from the Galapagos Islands.

Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 32.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 55763); common length : 20.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 55763)

Abundant in shallow coastal areas, especially in rocky coasts with macroalgae. May be solitary or swim in loose schools (Ref. 5227). Feeds by scraping or breaking off chunks of the reef and digest the algae that grows within, or they feed directly on algae (Ref. 28023).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.3 - 29.1, mean 26.2 °C (based on 211 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00535 - 0.02352), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 62.1 [37.1, 120.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.764 [0.411, 1.300] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.6, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0961 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 25.9 [14.9, 49.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.8 [15.9, 176.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.83 [1.25, 2.91] mg/100g (wet weight);
