Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 14 - 16; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: dorsal fin membrane pale, without dense black band; no strongly marked vertical bars on flanks; males often with few reddish maculae in caudal membrane but these never extend over entire fin; normally no markings on flanks, although stressed individuals sometimes with 2 horizontal bands; iridescent blue coloration on cheeks, opercle and anterior body (Ref. 81260).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Pair-bonding, ovophilic mouthbrooder (Ref. 52307, 81260) with delayed uptake (Ref. 81260). Spawns on open substrates; both parents brood offspring (Ref. 81260).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming Fec<1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
