Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 13.

Adults inhabit lagoon and coastal areas (Ref. 9710). Found in sandy or silty areas around outcrops of rubble on sand, mud, sponge or rocks. Occur singly or in small groups. Young often with anemones for protection (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Abandoned shells and waste bottles serve as nests (Ref. 90102). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.4 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1662 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00651 - 0.03363), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.3 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 = 136 [77, 226] mg/100g; Iron = 0.899 [0.565, 1.395] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.16 [0.10, 0.25] g/100g; Selenium = 23.5 [13.6, 41.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 137 [48, 391] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.24 [1.57, 3.08] mg/100g (wet weight);
