Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-13; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: absence of median predorsal scales; corner of mouth with a large canine tooth. Colouration: body of males primarily olive-green, the upper body with 0–4 rows of metallic blue spots, not overlain in black; females are unmarked and olivaceous overall (Ref. 123183).

Usually in kelp and other weedy areas at 2-25 m (Ref. 123183).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.6 - 26.8, mean 23.3 °C (based on 152 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00209 - 0.01203), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 36 [14, 67] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.238 [0.124, 0.566] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.2 [15.3, 20.5] % ; Omega3 = 0.278 [0.132, 0.568] g/100g ; Selenium = 6.47 [2.46, 16.70] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 95.2 [19.8, 546.7] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.85 [0.51, 1.62] mg/100g (wet weight);
