Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 18; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 20. Dorsal fin spines elongate, extending beyond membrane. Terminal anal ray connected by membrane to caudal peduncle. Gill opening narrow and restricted, slightly below the level of the ventralmost pectoral ray. Some preopercular and mandibular pores with cirri. A black, fleshy flap at the base of the 1st dorsal spine. A black blotch is present ventrally on each side of the head.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Also inhabit shallow, semi-exposed, hard-coral and rock reef with rich algae growth (Ref. 48636). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 1754 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00356 - 0.01695), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 146 [73, 228] mg/100g; Iron = 0.797 [0.477, 1.313] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.1, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.0963 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 25.1 [12.4, 51.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 128 [40, 403] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.15 [1.47, 3.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
