Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 14; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8. Preorbital bone very broad in adults. Large specimens develop a groove from front of eye to nostrils, and on upper part of preopercle behind the eye. Preopercular notch and knob weak. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Color mainly red to pink with a silvery hue; the fins reddish.

Adults are found over hard bottoms in inshore reef areas up to a depth of at least 80 m (Ref. 9313). Carnivorous, feed on big invertebrates and fish (Ref. 9313). They are marketed fresh or frozen because of excellent quality of flesh (Ref. 9313).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22 - 28.6, mean 26.2 °C (based on 34 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00706 - 0.03101), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.15-0.26).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 24.3 [15.2, 36.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.299 [0.186, 0.454] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.3, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.116 [0.079, 0.167] g/100g; Selenium = 66.2 [43.4, 102.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 91.6 [18.6, 329.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.36 [0.28, 0.50] mg/100g (wet weight);
