Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Spine anali: 7; Raggi anali molli: 9; Vertebre: 1. Pale bluish dorsally, silvery white below; iris with a bluish cast. Preopercular angle 107°-110°; cheeks covered with overlapping scales; midline of thorax including pelvic ridges fully scaled. Rim of anterior nostril expanded posteriorly into a very short pointed peak. Spines stout, pungent and venomous.

Paired adults live around rocks and coral reefs and feed on sessile colonial tunicates, monaxonid sponges, and benthic algae. Solitary or in groups (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.2 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 528 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00650 - 0.03213), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 38.6 [18.3, 88.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.665 [0.323, 1.580] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.3, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.112 [0.059, 0.222] g/100g; Selenium = 21.2 [8.7, 53.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.1 [9.5, 118.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.19 [0.47, 2.54] mg/100g (wet weight);
