Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Body dusky green with 2 longitudinal dark stripes; cheeks yellowish olive with diagonal blue stripes; fins dusky; anal and caudal fins with a tinge of yellow (Ref. 13608). Preopercle with a single prominent group of spines at the angle; 3 flat spines on posterior part of opercle. Soft portions of dorsal and anal fin bases without scales. Pectoral fin longer than pelvic fin. Caudal fin with no elongated ray (Ref. 36323).

Occurs commonly in coastal waters and also enter estuarine regions (Ref. 36323). Found over soft bottoms. Flesh is of good quality and is eaten fresh.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.7 - 27.9, mean 25.6 °C (based on 430 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00449 - 0.00888), b=3.14 (3.04 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.68 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 183 [78, 350] mg/100g; Iron = 0.97 [0.53, 1.79] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.8, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.188 [0.099, 0.368] g/100g; Selenium = 46.9 [23.7, 93.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 30.5 [11.6, 96.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.39 [0.96, 1.98] mg/100g (wet weight);
