Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. Males have a taller, more heavily pigmented first dorsal fin; characterized by translucent grey body color; red-brown iris; side of body with tiny brown spots; first two membranes of first dorsal fin with black tip and large brown blotch below; pelvic fins united only at bases; absence of pelvic frenum; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 23-25; mainly ctenoid scales except cycloid on breast, base of pectoral fin and side of nape to above rear margin of preopercle; scales absent on operculum; median predorsal scales absent; opening of gill extending to level slightly anterior to posterior edge of preopercle; depth of body 4.7-5.5 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Lives on patches of fine sand near coral rock or rubble of lagoon reefs (Ref. 37816, 48637).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 470 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00486 - 0.02255), b=3.03 (2.85 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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 = 196 [99, 442] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.07 [0.53, 2.02] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.3 [16.3, 20.0] % ; Omega3 = 0.165 [0.071, 0.320] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.5 [10.8, 48.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 151 [42, 512] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.63 [1.68, 3.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
