Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Eastern Atlantic: Norway to Morocco, including Madeira, the Azores and the Canary Islands. Doubtful records from Mediterranean, Adriatic and Marmara seas (Ref. 4742).
Adults are found in littoral (10-20 m) zone around rocks, offshore reefs, and seaweed. Young often in intertidal areas. All are born females and change sex when they are 4-14 years old (Ref. 35388). One (or more) female spawns in nest of algae, built by male in a crevice. Feed on crustaceans and mollusks (Ref. 4742). Oviparous (Ref. 205).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01029 (-0.11291 - 0.13350), b=3.05 (2.97 - 3.13), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.1; tmax=29; tm=2-9).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100) .
