Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 9 - 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 15; Spine anali: 5 - 6; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 13. Body is slender, with weakly attached silvery scales. The spines of the dorsal and anal fins longer than the rays; the pectoral fins long and pointed, reaching beyond the anal fin spines; the anal fin is long; the caudal fin lobes rounded.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits coastal waters. Forms large schools. Probably feeds on small benthic animals. Used for fish meal and duck food.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.1 - 28.3, mean 26.6 °C (based on 974 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00924 - 0.01363), b=3.06 (3.01 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 1.2 (1.0 - 1.4) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 16 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.70-1.80).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 223 [91, 694] mg/100g; Iron = 0.874 [0.382, 2.690] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.5, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.323 [0.154, 0.725] g/100g; Selenium = 54.9 [20.4, 162.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.7 [2.8, 49.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.63, 2.73] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
