Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7. Black spot on each side of the caudal peduncle. Males with a second similar spot behind each pectoral fin (Ref. 35388); eyes situated laterally; fully scaled; possess functioning suckers; caudal fins slightly notched (Ref. 92840).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Suprabenthic (Ref. 92840). Found inshore in groups around over-grown structures and among Laminaria or Zostera beds. Adults feed on small crustaceans (copepods, amphipods, mysids) and chaetognaths (Ref. 4696). Eggs are about 1 mm long, pear-shaped, and adhere to seagrass or weeds; hatch in 10 days (Ref. 4696). Pelagic larvae hatch at 2.5 mm length (Ref. 35388).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Repeat spawners (Ref. 4696). Eggs are found inside hollow Sacchoriza holdfasts or other smooth substrates (Ref. 4696). Nests of care-giving males contain eggs from several females (Ref. 115238).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 8.9 - 13.1, mean 10.5 °C (based on 408 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00286 - 0.01601), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.2   ±0.34 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (tm=1; tmax=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100). 🛈
