Teleostei (teleosts) > Perciformes/Serranoidei (Groupers) > Anthiadidae (Fairy basslets or Streamer basses)
Etymology: Plectranthias: Greek, plektron = anyhting to strike with, spur + Greek, anthias = a fish, Sparus aurata (Ref. 45335); kelloggi: Named after Dr. Vernon Lyman Kellog, professor of entomology at Stanford University.
Eponymy: Vernon Lyman Kellogg (1867–1937) was an entomologist, evolutionary biologist and science administrator at Stanford University. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Issue
The placement of this species follows Randall (1980: Ref. 8944). Smith and Craig placed it in Zalanthias in Serraninae upon a molecular study of Serranidae. It was replaced in Plectranthias by Anderson and Heemstra (2012: Ref. YYY) and confirmed Parenti and Randall (2020: Ref. YYY) but without further evidence. A reassessment based both on molecular and morphological data is needed. More studies are need, or please sned references.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.4 - 22.7, mean 18.1 °C (based on 165 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.00987 - 0.06393), b=2.97 (2.74 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.6 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).
