Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 14. Overall color is black. With three pupil-size white spots: one at the rear base of the dorsal fin, one at the rear base of the anal fin, and the third at mid-base of the caudal fin.

Adults form large aggregations high above the bottom in rocky areas around caves and ledges (Ref. 7247). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Collected from 183 m. Spawn from December to June (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.7 - 25.5, mean 20.3 °C (based on 4 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00796 - 0.03971), 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): 3.3 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 95.9 [48.9, 150.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.922 [0.531, 1.537] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.136 [0.078, 0.236] g/100g; Selenium = 42.6 [21.8, 85.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 76.8 [22.4, 267.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.29 [0.86, 1.86] mg/100g (wet weight);
