Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 15; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 15 - 17; Vertèbres: 34. Olivaceous with 7 short dark brown double bars on side of body and rows of small pale blue spots (Ref. 13442).

Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in intertidal areas (Ref. 31184), like tide pools, rocky slopes, and places where there are boulders on the bottom (Ref. 5521). Actively shuttle back and forth between rock-pools and air (Ref. 31184). They breathe air (Ref. 31184) and can remain out of water for up to 2 hours if kept moist (Ref. 51276). Feed mainly on algae (Ref. 13442). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larves

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.5 - 28.2, mean 27.5 (based on 532 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Résilience (Ref. 120179):  Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
