Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 4; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 10. Body with about equal stripes of brownish red and silvery white; spinous dorsal mostly white, membrane tips yellow, basal part of fin red except base of first two membranes which are whitish (Ref. 4201). Five oblique scale rows on cheek; body depth 2.4-2.65 in SL; head length (HL) 2.55-2.9 in SL; short and blunt snout, its length 4.15-4.6 in HL; interorbital width 4.5-5.2 in HL; mouth terminal, maxilla usually extending posterior to center of eye, upper jaw length 2.2-2.45 in HL; premaxillary groove nearly or just reaching a vertical at front edge of orbit; anterior end of nasal bone with a blunt spine; surface or medial edge of nasal bone spineless; nasal fossa without spinules; upper edge of 1st suborbital bones with a row of recumbent spinules, the 1st (slightly posterior to a vertical at front edge of orbit) is the largest and most lateral; preopercular spine usually slightly more than 1/2 orbit diameter, 4.0-5.7 in HL; 3rd-5th dorsal spines longest, 1.75-2.15 in HL; 3rd anal spine 1.3-1.55 in HL (Ref. 27370).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.4 - 28.9, mean 27.2 (based on 435 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00774 - 0.03400), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
