Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Common in shallow waters, especially where brown algae exists (Ref. 9311). Diet consists of crustaceans, sea urchins, mollusks, and brittle stars. It loses its blue-green coloration, turns dull brown in captivity.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.4 - 29.1, mean 26.8 °C (based on 245 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00451 - 0.02020), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.43 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 64.9 [38.4, 108.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.625 [0.358, 1.166] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [15.8, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.128 [0.081, 0.199] g/100g; Selenium = 20.2 [12.2, 37.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 126 [38, 457] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.53 [1.07, 2.41] mg/100g (wet weight);
