Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Light red with two posterior dark brown bars, the first linking rear base of second dorsal and anal fins, and the broader second posteriorly on caudal peduncle.

Prefers coral and rocky areas with little sand. Looks very similar to Apogon planifrons which occurs in the same area.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.1 - 28, mean 27.1 °C (based on 132 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00680 - 0.03071), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 182 [87, 329] mg/100g; Iron = 1.17 [0.64, 2.13] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.2, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.068, 0.276] g/100g; Selenium = 39.8 [17.4, 84.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.4 [13.8, 205.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.07 [1.30, 3.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
