Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 22 - 24; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7. Mental pores in 2 pairs, both small, the first pair at front of chin, separated by symphysis. Gill rakers slender, as long as gill filaments at angle of arch, 9-12 on lower limb. Dorsal fin with 22-24 soft rays. Second anal spine short, slender, 22-36 % of head length. Caudal fin truncate. Scales cycloid (smooth) on head and flanks. Swim bladder carrot-shaped, with 17-22 pairs of fan-like appendages along its sides, the first not entering head. Sagitta (large earstone) with a tadpole-shaped impression, the tail of which is hockey-stick-shaped. Nape with a diffused dusky blotch.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in inshore waters. Feeds on small crustaceans, benthic worms and small fishes. Marketed fresh and dried salted (Ref. 9772).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1510 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00712 - 0.01689), b=3.07 (2.94 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.69 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.6 (0.9 - 2.1) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 13 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.53-1.94).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (75 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 175 [100, 347] mg/100g; Iron = 1.15 [0.59, 2.06] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.247 [0.129, 0.420] g/100g; Selenium = 50.2 [25.9, 99.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.8 [8.0, 77.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.1 [0.8, 1.6] mg/100g (wet weight);
