Teleostei (teleosts) > Perciformes/Serranoidei (Groupers) > Anthiadidae (Fairy basslets or Streamer basses)
Etymology: Pronotogrammus: Greek, pro = first, in front of + Greek, noton = back + Greek, gramma = signal, letter (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Eos in Greek mythology was the goddess of the dawn. In zoology, her name is generally applied to species that have ‘rosy’ coloration, sometimes combined with orange or yellowish hues that might be reminiscent of a sunrise. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.1 - 17.5, mean 13.4 °C (based on 10 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00618 - 0.02945), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 50.8 [20.1, 124.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.531 [0.200, 1.171] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.3, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.484 [0.240, 0.969] g/100g; Selenium = 12.8 [5.2, 30.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.5 [3.6, 99.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.492 [0.336, 0.763] mg/100g (wet weight);
