Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found on the seafloor near the Peroa natural gas platform, with rhodoliths and other calcareous substrate (Ref. 113825). Also found in a moderately steep slope with short rock ledges, small caves and crevices. Collected on a fine sand and Halimeda rubble substrate in close proximity to an Ircinia sp. sponge and several ca. 1 m diameter boulders covered with encrusting algae and sponges (Ref. 129296). Mininum depth and maximum size for male from Ref. 113825. Maximum depth and maximum size for female from Ref. 129296.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
