Teleostei (teleosts) > Eupercaria/misc (Various families in series Eupercaria) > Labridae (Wrasses)
Etymology: Pseudolabrus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, labrax = a fish, Dicentrarchus labrax (Ref. 45335); miles: Specific epithet 'miles' is from the Latin word soldier; referring to the scarlet body color resembling 19th century soldier's uniforms.

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 27.2 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 26203); 26.9 cm SL (female)

Feeds on small mobile animals, preferably crabs. Searches for food among encrusting organisms and algal holdfasts using the large forward-jutting canine teeth to rake its food from the substratum (Ref. 26966).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.8 - 16.6, mean 15 °C (based on 24 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00882 - 0.02983), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 18 [8, 32] mg/100g; Iron = 0.197 [0.099, 0.446] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [15.6, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.288 [0.150, 0.581] g/100g; Selenium = 6.29 [2.77, 14.19] μg/100g; VitaminA = 56.4 [12.0, 359.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.597 [0.366, 1.136] mg/100g (wet weight);
