Indo-West Pacific: southern Japan to the Indo-Malaysian region, probably eastward to India. Has often been confused w/ the young of Gymnocranius grandoculis, hence its distributional limits are somewhat obscure. Records of Gymnocranius griseus from the Western Indian Ocean probably pertain to Gymnocranius grandoculis.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9 - 10; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10.

In sheltered coastal bays and sand and mud slopes in depths over 20 m (Ref. 48635); also in coastal trawling grounds. Juveniles sometimes in shallow estuaries on algae reefs (Ref. 48635). Sometimes forms schools. Feeds on bottom-living invertebrates. Sexually mature upon reaching 15-17 cm SL. Sometimes caught with handlines and marketed dried (Ref. 9775) or fresh. In Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 28.8, mean 28.1 °C (based on 445 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00761 - 0.04154), b=2.97 (2.78 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.44 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 5.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.22).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 39.5 [20.2, 69.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.519 [0.283, 0.847] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [17.2, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.128 [0.075, 0.187] g/100g; Selenium = 34.9 [21.0, 60.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 81.5 [24.8, 238.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.32 [0.94, 1.79] mg/100g (wet weight);
