Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by having the following combination of characters: long, filamentous 3rd spine of 1st dorsal fin, distal tip usually over end of 2nd dorsal fin base when adpressed; almost separated pelvic fins, innermost (= 5th) segmented rays connected by rudimentary low membrane between bases, no frenum; 4-7 short spines on posterior margin of preopercle (uppermost spine usually just behind the cephalic sensory canal pore N); large eye, 32.3-35.8% of head length; enlarged haemal arches on 1st two caudal vertebrae; posterior margin of eye to caudal fin base has a distinct black band (indistinct in dark-phase individuals); black pelvic fin (vivid in dark phase individuals); many minute bright blue spots on head and body when live or fresh; distinct dark spots on head and body absent; iris entirely reddish-brown or dusky (bright white ventrally in pale-phase individuals) when alive or fresh, becoming entirely black in preservation, with no white transverse bar on middorsal surface; has a hovering habit (Ref. 44260).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits sheltered bays on sand, rubble and mud bottoms in 10-25 m (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.7 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1945 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 320 [117, 1,108] mg/100g; Iron = 1.95 [0.71, 4.97] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [15.9, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.158 [0.045, 0.524] g/100g; Selenium = 15.8 [3.8, 55.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 103 [17, 601] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.01 [1.41, 5.56] mg/100g (wet weight);
