Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit clear lagoon and seaward reefs to over 15 m (Ref. 9710) and nearby sand-rubble bottoms at 2-30 m, solitarily or in small groups (Ref. 90102). Food consist of small crabs and gastropods.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2508 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 64.5 [24.5, 183.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.692 [0.406, 1.263] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [15.7, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.146 [0.071, 0.296] g/100g; Selenium = 25.7 [9.6, 73.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 141 [44, 520] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.26 [1.02, 4.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
