Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 3 - 5; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 29 - 34; Épines anales: 1 - 2; Rayons mous anaux: 19 - 20; Vertèbres: 24. Preopercular serrae 30-58. H. cuniculus is variable in coloration, ranging from pale olive brown to yellowish or light greenish or a mixture with some geographic variation (Ref. 37816). Greatest depth of body 5.1-6.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Inhabits muddy to rubble or rubble-sand areas of outer reef slopes. Observed a meter above the substrate and retreats to a burrow when threatened. Stomach contents consist of calanoid copepods (58% by volume), larvaceans (20%), siphonophores (20%), and fish eggs (2%) (Ref. 8991). Sometimes in loose groups (Ref. 48635).

Displays obligate monogamy where a one-to-one pair is established irrespective of resource abundance (Ref. 52884).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 20.2 - 27.9, mean 25.4 (based on 282 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00236 - 0.01221), b=3.03 (2.82 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Very high.
