Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 4 - 6; Spine anali: 0. This species of the H. aculeatus complex is distinguished by having 2 narrow black bands across pectoral fin; with well-developed outer sphenotic tubercle and strongly reduced inner sphenotic tubercle; tubercles relatively small but sharp; tubercles almost always absent dorsal to orbit; relatively fine reticulate pigmentation pattern on dorsal surface (i.e. densely arranged network of melanophores); relatively small with adult body size usually attaining <7.0 cm SL (Ref. 85070).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits bare sandy bottom where, during the day, it rests partly covered by a thin layer of sand (Ref. 5521).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.7 - 27.6, mean 24.9 °C (based on 548 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.00968 - 0.05678), b=2.94 (2.73 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 49 [21, 146] mg/100g; Iron = 0.685 [0.342, 1.373] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [16.6, 22.4] %; Omega3 = 0.254 [0.094, 0.689] g/100g; Selenium = 19.5 [7.3, 49.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 75.9 [16.2, 361.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.902 [0.527, 1.482] mg/100g (wet weight);
