Etymology: Bodianus: Bodianus after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896); frenchii: Named after Herr French, an assistant of Dr V. Müller who collected many Australian fishes described by Klunzinger (Ref. 75973).
Eponymy: This is a puzzle, as there is no obvious etymology in the original text. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17 - 22.9, mean 18 °C (based on 52 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00569 - 0.02662), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 15.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 22.4 [10.5, 46.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.478 [0.256, 0.955] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [16.4, 21.5] %; Omega3 = 0.197 [0.111, 0.349] g/100g; Selenium = 13.7 [6.5, 29.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 78.5 [21.6, 339.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.882 [0.568, 1.466] mg/100g (wet weight);
