Characterized by dark brown color with blue spots on head, body and fins; prolonged third dorsal spine, forms long filament in adult; longitudinal scale series 24; ctenoid scales; scaled cheek and opercle; corner of preopercle with single broad based spine, length about half of two-thirds pupil diameter; rounded caudal fin; depth of body 2.7-3.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Found on coral rubble (Ref. 43239). Collected from river mouths (Ref. 559). Feeds on zooplankton (Ref. 37816). Usually occurs in large colonies that cover extensive zones of rubble (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.7 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 354 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 329 [147, 939] mg/100g; Iron = 1.43 [0.63, 3.26] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.7, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.122 [0.042, 0.322] g/100g; Selenium = 28.2 [9.2, 83.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 196 [51, 765] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.74 [2.12, 5.99] mg/100g (wet weight);
