Etymology: Priolepis: Greek, prio = to saw + Greek,lepis = scale (Ref. 45335); ailina: Name from the Greek ailinos for mournful or plaintive, alluding to the rather lugubrious expression imparted to this little fish by the dark stripe below eye; noun in apposition.. More on author: Winterbottom.

Marine; reef-associated; non-migratory; depth range 3 - 31 m (Ref. 9018), usually 20 - 25 m (Ref. 9018). Tropical, preferred ?

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: no fraenum, a high pectoral fin count of 19, a fifth pelvic ray that is 50% the length of the fourth and that branches only once, head bars very vague and difficult to discern, with the postocular bar joining the opercular bar, and a dark, pupil-diameter-width stripe from the eye to the corner of the mouth (Ref. 9018).

Most specimens taken on the reef slope where coral rubble plentiful (Ref. 9018).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00419 - 0.01894), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
