Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m 28.8 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 110 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 7251); poids max. publié: 5.4 kg (Ref. 4926); âge max. reporté: 18 années (Ref. 796)

Benthic; feeds on worms, crustaceans, molluscs, sea squirts, sea urchins and fishes (Ref. 58426).

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

Eggs are laid in gelatinous masses guarded by one or both parents until hatching (Ref. 35432). However, more recent evidence suggests that care is provided by the female alone (Ref. 104883).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.4 - 9.5, mean 3 (based on 227 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00186 (0.00120 - 0.00289), b=3.20 (3.07 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (K=0.08-0.11; tmax=18).

Prior r = 0.09, 95% CL = 0.06 - 0.14, Based on 2 full stock assessments.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100).
