Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Occurs throughout the rocky habitat. In other places, it is mostly found in the sediment-free zone. Typical feeding position is at an angle of about 45° with the horizontal substrate. Nibbles, tears, and wrenches tightly attached algae from the substrate. May feed exclusively on plankton if it is abundant (Ref. 5595).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
