Lengua:

Ecología de Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps

Referencia principal	Grimes, C.B., K.W. Able and R.S. Jones, 1986
Observaciones	Tilefish are shelter-seeking fish which inhabit three more or less distinct habitats: 1) horizontal excavations in clay outcrops along the walls of submarine canyons (pueblo habitats); 2) scour depressions under rocks and boulders and; 3) the primary habitat, funnel-shaped vertical burrows in horizontal clay substrates. Two critical habitat requirements are relatively warm (9-14°C) stable bottom temperaures and the availability of shelter or a malleable substrate in which to construct a shelter (Ref. 33985). Small tilefish is preyed upon by spiny dogfish and conger eels. Parasites of the species include acanthocephalan, Echinorhynchus sp.; immature nematodes, Ascaris sp.; cestodes, Inquirenda sp., bisulcatus and trematodes Distomum foecundum and D. ocreatum (Ref. 5951).
