Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 12 - 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10. Body tall without stripes but with a black spot at the pectoral fin base (Ref. 35388).

Adults inhabit various types of bottoms, especially seagrass beds and sand down to 500 m depth, but more common between 40 and 100 m. The young are found nearer to the shore. Omnivorous, but prefer worms, mollusks and small crustaceans (Ref. 3688). Important food fish.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Most individuals are first males, then become females at a size of about 24 to 30 cm (Ref. 2715) or 17 to 29 cm TL; 2 to 7 years (eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea) (Ref. 4781). Also Ref. 28504.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12 - 18.4, mean 14.8 °C (based on 156 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00949 - 0.01266), b=3.06 (3.03 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 3.7 (2.6 - 5.2) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.17-0.23; tm=2-3; tmax=7; Fec=85,000).

Prior r = 0.59, 95% CL = 0.39 - 0.88, Based on 1 full stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): High vulnerability (62 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 119 [60, 236] mg/100g; Iron = 0.555 [0.324, 0.940] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.5, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.45 [0.29, 0.67] g/100g; Selenium = 81.7 [36.5, 172.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 13.2 [3.2, 61.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.485 [0.358, 0.728] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
