Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 9; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 30 - 34; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 26 - 29. Greenish above, whitish below; adults with 3-1 small black spots on curved LL; opercle with small black spot (Ref. 3197).

Adults inhabit neritic waters, often near sandy beaches (Ref. 5217). A shoaling species, generally near the bottom (Ref. 27121). They feed on planktonic invertebrates, primarily copepods, but also on gastropod larvae, ostracods and pteropods (Ref. 3277). Spawning occurs well offshore year-round (Ref. 26938). Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 4233). A good food fish (Ref. 9626). Caught commercially and used mainly for bait.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.5 - 27.8, mean 24.3 °C (based on 900 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00755 - 0.01745), b=2.98 (2.85 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 3.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179): Υψηλό, ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού < 15 μήνες (K=0.32; tm<1; Fec=28,600).

Prior r = 1.20, 95% CL = 0.79 - 1.80, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 143 [39, 362] mg/100g; Iron = 1.97 [0.70, 4.60] mg/100g; Protein = 21.6 [20.2, 22.8] %; Omega3 = 0.358 [0.176, 0.741] g/100g; Selenium = 23.8 [7.1, 68.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 36.4 [8.6, 154.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.817 [0.464, 1.440] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
