Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 16-17; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. Young and females with series of red blotches over the back below the soft part of the dorsal fin, followed by a red streak onto the tail (Ref. 48635).

Usually in small groups on drop-offs from 30 to 60 m or in the vicinity of caves or ledges of steep outer reef slopes. Feeds on crustacean larvae and fish eggs (Ref. 89972).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.3 - 29, mean 27.6 °C (based on 474 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00548 - 0.02760), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

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 = 100 [54, 196] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.882 [0.478, 1.524] mg/100g ; Protein = 18 [16, 20] % ; Omega3 = 0.178 [0.107, 0.293] g/100g ; Selenium = 28.2 [15.8, 55.2] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 204 [70, 663] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.6 [1.1, 2.3] mg/100g (wet weight);
