Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Found on rocks of corals reefs in the infralittoral zone (Ref. 559, 48637). Solitary or in groups, resting at bottom (Ref 90102). Spawning appears to be repeated on a regular cycle, semilunar or every 14 days (Ref. 116739).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 28.9, mean 27.9 °C (based on 524 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 0.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 1330 [158, 29,821] mg/100g; Iron = 9.6 [1.1, 60.1] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [13.4, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.0782 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 476 [12, 13,279] μg/100g; VitaminA = 3.15 [0.03, 248.84] μg/100g; Zinc = 21.9 [3.7, 83.0] mg/100g (wet weight);
