Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7 - 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 21; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 17 - 19.

Found only in relatively clear waters (Ref. 32693), adults in clear lagoon and seaward reefs, juveniles in shallow inshore and brackish waters (Ref. 9710). Pelagic (Ref. 58302). Mainly solitary but sometimes form small loose groups (Ref. 48635). Adults feed on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 5213) while juveniles feed on scales and epidermal tissues torn from other schooling fishes (Ref. 9710, 90102). Venom glands were not visible, not able to be confirmed in specimen (Ref. 57406). Utilized fresh, dried or salted or frozen (Ref. 9987).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Migrate to the outer reef slope to spawn several days after the full moon (Ref. 37816).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.2 - 29, mean 28 (based on 1708 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00824 - 0.01923), b=2.87 (2.74 - 3.00), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Prior r = 0.61, 95% CL = 0.40 - 0.91, Based on 2 data-limited stock assessments.
