Etymology: Priolepis: Greek, prio = to saw + Greek,lepis = scale (Ref. 45335); semidoliata: Name from Latin semi meaning half and dolium for barrel, presumably a comparison of the barred colored pattern extending halfway down the body to the hoops of a barrel; noun in apposition.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; non-migratory; depth range 2 - 30 m (Ref. 58302). Tropical; 30°N - 35°S
Indo-Pacific: Red Sea to Johnston Island and Pitcairn, north to Japan, south to Australia. Replaced by Priolepis farcimen in the Hawaiian Islands (Ref. 37816).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 2.4 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1602)
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7. Scales mostly restricted to the abdomen. Has relatively wide (> or = pupil diameter) light bars from the snout to the pectoral base, and few if any scales anterior of the operculum. Very similar to P. farcimen.
Benthic in caves and crevices of seaward reefs (Ref. 58302).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.2 °C (based on 3287 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 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 = 367 [159, 1,136] mg/100g; Iron = 1.69 [0.75, 3.60] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.0, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.171 [0.057, 0.480] g/100g; Selenium = 30.5 [10.1, 80.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 125 [27, 573] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.35 [2.43, 7.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
