Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 9; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 28 - 29; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 22 - 25. Deep bodied compared to similar species (Ref. 48635). Body color bluish green above, silvery below; caudal fin bright red. Sometimes a yellow mid-lateral stripe (Ref. 48635). Opercle with a small black spot; margin of opercular membrane smooth. 31-38 scutes.

Adults are found in deep waters. They feed on small planktonic invertebrates (Ref. 5213). Occasionally seen in small groups along reef slopes at moderate depths. Mainly known from trawls and shows red tail after capture (Ref. 48635).

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 11.5 - 22.4, mean 15 (based on 274 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00931 - 0.02143), b=2.98 (2.85 - 3.11), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (K=0.63).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).
