Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Body compressed and moderately deep; skin thick, with large, rectilinear, plate-like scales, some of them spiny, that are easily visible to the naked eye; mouth small; teeth strong and protruding, 8 in each jaw; snout with a naked scale-less area behind the jaws; dorsal fin with 3 spines and more than 25 rays; scales located behind the gill openings much larger than the surrounding scales (Ref. 55763).

Found around reefs and over sandy bottoms of shallow waters (Ref. 9276). Feeds on sea urchins, small crustaceans and mollusks, often blowing into sand to uncover prey or turn over urchins (Ref. 5227).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.8 - 26.9, mean 22.6 °C (based on 20 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01232 - 0.05364), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 20.9 [8.5, 47.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.457 [0.229, 1.005] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.4, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.0892 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 43.6 [19.0, 92.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.4 [9.2, 123.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.83 [0.56, 1.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
