Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 17 - 20; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19; Vertebre: 75 - 76. Rows of spinules in skin easily seen but individual spinules difficult to discern. Color in life orange to red above, with brownish and black blotches. Lighter below. Dorsal and anal fins with orange bases. Caudal filament dusky (Ref. 9826). Branchiostegal rays: 5 (Ref. 36710).

Adults occur at depths greater than 30 m, along continental and insular margins (Ref. 36710), over rocky substrates (Ref. 37955). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 37955). Marketed fresh, salted or dried and smoked but more frequently processed into fishmeal (Ref. 9301).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.6 - 28.4, mean 25.6 °C (based on 66 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00062 - 0.00231), b=2.85 (2.68 - 3.02), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.

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

Prior r = 0.54, 95% CL = 0.36 - 0.81, Based on 2 data-limited stock assessments.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (64 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 102 [58, 252] mg/100g; Iron = 1.61 [0.88, 2.91] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.9, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.197 [0.100, 0.415] g/100g; Selenium = 109 [48, 246] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.97 [3.26, 29.30] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.838 [0.554, 1.279] mg/100g (wet weight);
