Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Body pale, with dark stripe edged with pale blue from the snout, through the eye, to just past the pectoral fin, meeting some indistinct barring anteriorly on upper sides (Ref. 12723).

Occurs in protected bays and harbors; often on silty habitat or fine white sand just below the intertidal zone. Make burrows under solid objects; hovering close to the substrate. Adults usually in pairs (Ref. 12723).

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): 24.7 - 29, mean 28.1 °C (based on 882 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00502 - 0.01379), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 0.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

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 = 443 [188, 1,054] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.87 [1.03, 3.54] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.2 [16.3, 19.8] % ; Omega3 = 0.267 [0.106, 0.547] g/100g ; Selenium = 39.1 [17.8, 88.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 21.7 [7.0, 59.6] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.35 [1.58, 3.45] mg/100g (wet weight);
