Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334); common length : 12.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9137)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15-17; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. Males develop an incomplete crimson bar in the middle of their sides (Ref. 37816).

Mostly found on open substrate with low reef and remote bommies in depths over 20 m. Juveniles maybe shallow in coastal reefs (Ref. 48635). Form small, loose aggregations along current-swept drop-offs (Ref. 1602, 48635).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 28.8, mean 27.6 °C (based on 990 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00505 - 0.01724), b=2.93 (2.77 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 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 (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 85.2 [47.3, 175.5] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.901 [0.543, 1.480] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.1 [16.1, 20.0] % ; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.104, 0.286] g/100g ; Selenium = 30 [16, 56] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 151 [54, 464] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.43 [0.94, 2.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
