Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults occur in the intertidal zone, where they hide beneath rocks (Ref. 637 and 559). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.7 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2248 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00253 - 0.01308), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±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 = 302 [148, 615] mg/100g; Iron = 1.2 [0.6, 2.2] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.9, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.0902 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 18.9 [7.5, 47.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 134 [36, 489] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.29 [2.01, 5.04] mg/100g (wet weight);
