Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Bright pattern of dark spots on the pale pectoral fins. Small mouth. Wide interorbital distance and a thick, massive head on which, in large specimens rests a small, knoblike rostrum, because the rostrum is characterized by ontogenetic allometry: very long in juveniles, very short in adults. Lateral line scale count: subopercular 7-8; cheek series usually 8 (Ref. 40824).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.9 - 27.7, mean 25 °C (based on 206 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.00925 - 0.05675), b=2.94 (2.72 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 24 [11, 60] mg/100g; Iron = 0.514 [0.267, 0.915] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [17.1, 22.7] %; Omega3 = 0.154 [0.057, 0.383] g/100g; Selenium = 16.3 [7.1, 38.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45 [11, 192] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.725 [0.438, 1.128] mg/100g (wet weight);
