Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 7 - 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11-13; Spine anali 2; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 13; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XII-XIII (rarely XII),11-13; A II,11-13; pectoral rays 16-18; lateral line tubed scales 14-17 (modally 16); gill rakers 8-9 + 22-24 (total, 30-33, modally 31-32); body depth is 1.65-1.8 in SL; teeth are incisiform, in a single row; scaled suborbital; scales dorsally on snout extending well before nostrils, nearly to base of upper lip; colour of dorsal part of head, anterior body and scaled basal part of dorsal fin is light greyish green, scale edges are dusky, shading ventrally and posteriorly to greenish or pinkish white; naked portion of caudal fin and soft portions of dorsal and anal fins are black; pectoral fins with transparent membranes and faintly dusky rays; without black spot at base or axil of pectoral fins; pelvic fins are white (Ref. 82240).

Presumed to be reef-associated (Ref. 46206). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.9 - 29.2, mean 27.1 °C (based on 163 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.01149 - 0.04783), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 123 [61, 196] mg/100g; Iron = 0.767 [0.454, 1.301] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.0, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.101 [0.058, 0.169] g/100g; Selenium = 17.8 [9.7, 34.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 97.4 [26.9, 337.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.9 [1.3, 2.8] mg/100g (wet weight);
