Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

few black spots on body, those present at base of spines dorsally and dorsolaterally. Dorsal, anal, and caudal fins with dusky distal margin. Only 2 spines over eye. 2 spines between nostrils, 1 immediately adjacent to each nostril (Ref 9680).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found over soft bottoms to depths of 100 m, usually trawled. Presumably solitary and feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates. Not usually marketed.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.9 - 28.9, mean 28 °C (based on 338 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.04786 (0.01967 - 0.11644), b=2.82 (2.61 - 3.03), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
