Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit rocky shores of coastal waters (Ref. 5298). Omnivorous (Ref. 94105). They feed on bottom invertebrates, especially gammarids; also feeds on algae (Ref. 5981). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.1 - 21.2, mean 18.9 °C (based on 449 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00572 - 0.02007), b=3.02 (2.86 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.1 se; based on diet 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 = 333 [153, 795] mg/100g; Iron = 1.81 [1.03, 3.51] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.293 [0.148, 0.581] g/100g; Selenium = 9.43 [4.47, 22.49] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.5 [6.6, 83.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.72 [1.10, 2.68] mg/100g (wet weight);
