Dorsal spines (total): 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-14; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14. Overall color is black. With three pupil-size white spots: one at the rear base of the dorsal fin, one at the rear base of the anal fin, and the third at mid-base of the caudal fin.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults form large aggregations high above the bottom in rocky areas around caves and ledges (Ref. 7247). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Collected from 183 m. Spawn from December to June (Ref. 7247). 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): 9.7 - 25.5, mean 20.3 °C (based on 4 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00796 - 0.03971), b=2.99 (2.81 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 95.9 [48.9, 150.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.922 [0.531, 1.537] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.136 [0.078, 0.236] g/100g; Selenium = 42.6 [21.8, 85.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 76.8 [22.4, 267.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.29 [0.86, 1.86] mg/100g (wet weight);
