Etymology: Scorpaenopsis: Latin, scorpaena = a kind of fish, 1706 + Greek, opsis = appearance (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 4 - 60 m (Ref. 42181). Tropical; 30°N - 30°S
Eastern Central Pacific: Hawaii.
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 51.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4887); peso máx. publicado: 3.5 kg (Ref. 42181)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais (total) : 9; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 5. Vertical scale rows 50-55; lachrymal bone with 2 spines over maxillary, first points down and forward, second points down and back, sometimes second split distally into 2 points; suborbital ridge usually with 5 spines, sometimes some spines split in larger specimens (Ref. 10482).
This solitary species inhabits the outer edge of the reef (Ref. 583). Usually beneath ledges or near entrance to caves (Ref. 42181). Benthic (Ref. 58302). A prized food fish with population greatly reduced in main Hawaiian islands due to fishing pressure, especially by spear fishermen. Stomach contents include small fishes (holocentrid, acanthurid and Aulostomus chinensis) (Ref. 42181).
