Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9277)

Inhabits offshore, soft bottom habitats and migrate into shallow reef areas to spawn in late spring and early summer. Mainly nocturnal. Stays buried in the sand or other soft substrate during the day. Rises up the water column at night to feed (Ref. 28023). Neither opercular nor dorsal glands is venomous (Ref. 57406).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.4 - 28.9, mean 23.3 °C (based on 152 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00362 - 0.01099), b=3.20 (3.05 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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 (11 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 213 [107, 428] mg/100g; Iron = 1.26 [0.72, 2.17] mg/100g; Protein = 17.1 [16.0, 18.3] %; Omega3 = 0.234 [0.116, 0.479] g/100g; Selenium = 50 [22, 125] μg/100g; VitaminA = 69.8 [22.0, 220.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.15 [0.78, 1.70] mg/100g (wet weight);
