Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos anales: 19 - 23. This species is distinguished by the following characters: preanal pin-like mark,; A 19-23; pectoral rays modally 16: gill rakers modally 26; body depth 2.9-3.3 in SL, head length 2.9-3.1 in SL, eye diameter 6.6-7.4 in SL, predorsal length 2.3-2.4 in SL, pectoral-fin length of 3.3-3.45 in SL; fresh specimen with gold and green colour of the iris and with horizontal blackish streak beginning dorsally on the opercle and disappearing below the posterior end of the dorsal fin (Ref. 107896).

Found in coastal and offshore reefs (Ref., 90102). This species forms large groups in caves under ledges or beneath overhangs in reef (under Acropora plate corals) . Individuals forage at night, on zooplankton (mainly crustacean larvae and polychaetes (Ref. 43239, 90102, 107896).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.4 - 27.1, mean 22.3 °C (based on 605 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00669 - 0.03426), b=3.01 (2.81 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 129 [64, 208] mg/100g; Iron = 0.939 [0.537, 1.576] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.126 [0.071, 0.214] g/100g; Selenium = 24.6 [12.3, 49.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 127 [38, 419] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.5 [1.0, 2.2] mg/100g (wet weight);
