Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-14; Anal spines: 4; Anal soft rays: 8 - 10; Vertebrae: 27. Body striped red and silvery white, the red stripes about 3 times as broad as the white; spinous part of dorsal fin red except for white tips and a row of 6 white spots, one per membrane, near the base of the fin. Upper edge of suborbital bones below anterior half of orbit spineless and not serrate; small spine at medioposterior margin of nasal bone usually absent; nasal fossa without spinules; small preopercular spine, usually less than half orbit diameter; body depth 2.8-3.1 in SL; head length 2.7-3.05 in SL; longest dorsal spines, 1.9-2.2 in head length; third anal spine 1.2-1.45 in head length. Anal rays usually 9; pectoral usually 5 (Ref. 27370).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.1 - 28.3, mean 27.4 °C (based on 113 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01660 (0.00810 - 0.03401), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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 = 90.4 [33.8, 295.2] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.522 [0.243, 1.556] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.1 [17.9, 20.3] % ; Omega3 = 0.156 [0.065, 0.370] g/100g ; Selenium = 34.5 [18.9, 61.8] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 72.4 [27.8, 187.9] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.98 [0.92, 3.88] mg/100g (wet weight);
