Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 13; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11. Bright yellow mark above the pelvic base.

Inhabit coastal waters (Ref. 30573, 44894), usually entering estuaries (Ref. 44894). Abundant in shallow water and often caught at the surf-line or in rock pools (Ref. 9987). Larger, solitary fish sometimes enter brackish mangrove areas (Ref. 9987). Juveniles in estuaries move into deeper water with growth (Ref. 4335). Often in schools (Ref. 9710). Feed on benthic invertebrates, mainly mollusks (Ref. 5213) and aquatic macrophytes (Ref. 26055). Popular angling species commonly captured with hook and line (Ref. 44894). Marketed fresh (Ref. 5284).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Normally sexes are separate but some individuals are protandrous due to geographical variation in sexual pattern (Ref. 103751). Gonochorism is confirmed in Australia, and protandry in Asia (Ref. 103751). Also Ref. 28504.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.9 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1662 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01622 - 0.02344), b=2.96 (2.91 - 3.01), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.47 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 3.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tm=2-4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (88 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 34 [15, 69] mg/100g; Iron = 0.537 [0.280, 1.105] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [18.4, 21.1] %; Omega3 = 0.114 [0.068, 0.201] g/100g; Selenium = 39.8 [20.0, 80.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 26.9 [6.4, 109.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.956 [0.602, 1.420] mg/100g (wet weight);
