Priacanthidae (Bigeyes or catalufas)
Etymology: Priacanthus: Greek, prion = saw + Greek, akantha = thorn (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 3 - 230 m (Ref. 38732). Tropical
Eastern Pacific: Hawaiian and Midway Islands; a single juvenile specimen recorded from the Galapagos Islands. Strays reach Johnston Atoll (Ref. 9710). Reports from Japan are probably misidentifications of Priacanthus hamrur.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 33.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Inhabit clear lagoon and seaward reefs. Found under ledges during the day (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Spawning may occur by December or soon after. Sound production has been studied in this species (Ref. 5403).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 18.7 - 23.1, mean 20.8 °C (based on 10 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01698 (0.00740 - 0.03896), b=2.91 (2.72 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
