Maturity: Lm 30.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 65.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3198); common length : 35.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3507)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 11; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 11; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 10 - 11. Old specimens develop a marked blue budge between the eyes.
Found near rocks in coastal waters. Feeds on ascideans, crustaceans, and algae. Good food fish but not sufficiently abundant to be of commercial significance. Sold fresh.

50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02138 (0.01072 - 0.04265), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.34 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 7.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
