Blenniiformes (Blennies) >
Labrisomidae (Labrisomids)
Etymology: Labrisomus: Greek, labrax, -akos = a fish, Dicentrarchus labrax+ Greek, soma = body (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 4 m (Ref. 43466). Tropical
West Atlantic: Brazil (Ref. 43466); reported in Panama and Yucatan (Benjamin Victor, pers.comm. 12/09).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.3 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 43466); 10.3 cm SL (female)
Occurs on rocky bottom with algal growth. Forages on benthic and algae-dwelling crustaceans, mostly amphipods. Males defend territories and probably tend harems. Sexually dimorphic, red color on head and fore-body of males displayed during breeding season (Ref. 43466).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.4 - 28.1, mean 27.5 °C (based on 380 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00410 - 0.02122), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
