Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 7251)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 16; Spine anali: 2. Gill opening extending ventrally to opposite 7th-11th pectoral-fin ray; segmented dorsal-fin rays 13-16; segmented pelvic-fin rays 3; last dorsal-fin spine 8.5-15.5% SL; dorsal-fin spines robust and stiff; no elongate fleshy flap present posteriorly on lower lip; infraorbital bones 5-5; upper lip without free dorsal margin extending around snout; fleshy lobes of lower lip almost linear in lateral view and separated anterioventrally by a broad smooth area; bony interorbital width comparatively wider; dark spot usually present in spinous dorsal fin and centered on second spine; mandibular pores 4.
Adults inhabit oyster reefs and rocky shores. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.5 - 26.1, mean 23.7 °C (based on 188 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 51.5 [16.8, 99.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.286 [0.140, 0.560] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.1, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.233 [0.105, 0.504] g/100g; Selenium = 5.02 [1.83, 13.23] μg/100g; VitaminA = 86 [18, 428] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.1 [0.7, 1.8] mg/100g (wet weight);
