Etymology: Pseudolabrus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, labrax = a fish, Dicentrarchus labrax (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold (1796–1866) was a German physician, biologist, traveller and medical officer to the Dutch East Indian Army in Batavia (Java) and at the Dutch Trading Post, Dejima Island, Nagasaki, Japan. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.41 se; based on food items.
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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 540 [208, 1,886] mg/100g; Iron = 1.84 [0.69, 4.89] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [14.3, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.588 [0.234, 1.472] g/100g; Selenium = 9.36 [2.85, 29.01] μg/100g; VitaminA = 196 [32, 1,339] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.91 [1.50, 5.94] mg/100g (wet weight);
