Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 9. Body deep blue in color with a yellow band from snout through eye and along back to caudal fin (Ref. 4326).

Inhabits caves and crevices in rocky reefs (Ref. 9710). Skin contains grammistin which imparts a bitter taste. The amount of toxin produced increases when the fish is frightened (Ref. 4326). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 09710.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.9 - 28, mean 24 °C (based on 739 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.65 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 34.6 [21.0, 66.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.504 [0.266, 0.823] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.184 [0.120, 0.287] g/100g; Selenium = 46.5 [27.0, 79.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 98.1 [35.0, 315.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.993 [0.688, 1.405] mg/100g (wet weight);
