Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Reddish brown to gray, becoming redder posteriorly. L. mitratum differs from L. pallidum by having 14 rather than 15-16 pectoral rays and 19-30 rather than 8-13 preopercular serrae (Ref. 37816).

A secretive, ledge dweller species (Ref. 90102); benthic (Ref. 75154). and found in caves and crevices (Ref. 9710).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.6 - 28.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 286 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 121 [61, 242] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.852 [0.429, 1.527] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.6, 20.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.197 [0.114, 0.339] g/100g ; Selenium = 26.2 [13.1, 51.6] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 153 [48, 527] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.72 [1.12, 2.56] mg/100g (wet weight);
