Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 29-36; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 17 - 22; Vertebrae: 24. Scutes absent.

Northwest Pacific: Japan and the eastern Korean Peninsula to the Hawaiian Islands.

Exhibits shoaling habit (Ref. 9988). Plankton feeder. Juveniles are found among floating seaweeds (Ref. 12114, 12115). Collection of young is the basis for prosperous aquaculture in Japan. Raised in captivity and marketed fresh for sashimi (Ref. 9988).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00000 (0.00000 - 0.00000), b=0.00000 (0.00000 - 0.00000), based on (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.65 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.3-0.5).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
