Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults prefer exposed deep reefs and rocky outcroppings (Ref. 7251). Eggs are incubated orally by both parents (Ref. 240). This is the only species in the genus Apogon with mouthbrooding done by males and females (Ref. 85456).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproducción | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larva

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.4 - 28, mean 26.5 °C (based on 260 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00528 - 0.02384), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Fec=1,900).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 115 [68, 204] mg/100g; Iron = 0.963 [0.588, 1.541] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.211 [0.125, 0.347] g/100g; Selenium = 46.1 [23.8, 88.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 82.8 [29.0, 233.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.74 [1.19, 2.46] mg/100g (wet weight);
