Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2156); max. reported age: 14 years (Ref. 2156)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 12 - 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7-10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 4 - 6; Vertebrae: 28. Lack scales (Ref. 33616).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in inshore waters (Ref. 9563). Most active at night, lying motionless during the day. Spawn during August-September and seem to be triggered by an increase in water temperature at the onset of spring. Smaller individuals feed mainly on shrimps and crabs, while bigger ones are piscivorous (Ref. 2156). Adults possess venomous infraorbital, preopercular and dorsal-fin spines (Ref. 33616).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.9 - 22.9, mean 17.9 °C (based on 356 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 9.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.12; tm=2-4; tmax=14).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (55 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 114 [48, 258] mg/100g; Iron = 1.13 [0.58, 2.25] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.5, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.499 [0.215, 1.295] g/100g; Selenium = 16.9 [7.4, 42.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 25.4 [8.8, 73.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.32 [0.89, 1.96] mg/100g (wet weight);
