Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 17; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 14.
Adults occur over rocky bottom in clear water, often near crevices and small caves, occasionally in kelp. Adults defend a home territory. Feed mainly on attached invertebrates. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Have been reared in captivity (Ref. 35420).
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Male clears a sheltered nest site; female deposits eggs, which male guards (Ref. 2850).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.3 - 19.2, mean 17.5 °C (based on 48 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00922 - 0.04124), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.39 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 6.5 (5.8 - 7.3) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 28
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tmax=20; tm=5).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
