Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 144 - 157; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 107 - 117. Head and body grey or whitish with large irregular dark blotches; large adults darker, almost black (Ref. 34024).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Uncommon and benthic species in rocky habitat (Ref. 34024). Restricted to estuaries, shallow bays and coastal reefs (Ref. 33847). Found on the continental shelf and slope (Ref. 75154). Juveniles are found in seagrass beds in estuaries while adults inhabit caves and rocky recesses (Ref. 33847). Oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205). Important as a recreational fish (Ref. 33839). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.2 - 18.3, mean 16.4 °C (based on 110 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00257 (0.00122 - 0.00544), b=3.17 (2.99 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (88 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 46.6 [27.3, 88.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.904 [0.563, 1.464] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [14.4, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.225 [0.136, 0.372] g/100g; Selenium = 33.8 [17.9, 66.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.5 [4.4, 30.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.697 [0.506, 0.997] mg/100g (wet weight);
