Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Similar to S. viride but distinguished by the distinctive color pattern of the TP specimens; S. amplum is without yellow area on caudal peduncle ('stoplight') and without yellow spot at the angle of opercle (Ref. 40827).

Occurs in oceanic islands, dwelling mainly in shallow and turbulent areas on coral, algal and rocky reefs. Occurs in smaller groups in deeper habitats (Ref. 40827).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 22.9 - 27.6, mean 26.6 (based on 209 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00961 - 0.02738), b=3.13 (2.99 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
