Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 22-25; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8

Inhabits coastal waters, usually over sandy-mud to hard sand bottoms. Common along beaches. Juveniles occur usually in water of lower salinity.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.8 - 27.9, mean 24.4 °C (based on 552 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00734 - 0.00860), b=3.08 (3.06 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=2; tmax=4; Fec=28,691 (batch fecundity)).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 78.1 [44.9, 148.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.951 [0.511, 1.649] mg/100g; Protein = 21.2 [19.2, 23.5] %; Omega3 = 0.326 [0.192, 0.520] g/100g; Selenium = 22 [12, 41] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.7 [4.4, 35.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.867 [0.647, 1.267] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
