Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Maximum length is 7.0 cm TL (Ref. 12251). Males are generally larger than females (60 cm vs. 40 cm) and have more filamentous fins and deeper coloration during reproduction (Ref. 12251). Females take care of the spawned eggs and the juveniles (Ref. 12251).

Eggs are attached to the ceiling of caves, female cares for eggs and larvae (Ref. 47893).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00838 - 0.04534), b=2.99 (2.81 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming Fec<1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
