Etymology: Scorpaenopsis: Latin, scorpaena = a kind of fish, 1706 + Greek, opsis = appearance (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 4 - 60 m (Ref. 42181). Tropical; 30°N - 30°S
Eastern Central Pacific: Hawaii.
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 51.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 4887); max. gepubliceerd gewicht: 3.5 kg (Ref. 42181)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 12; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 9; Anale stekels 3; Anale zachte stralen: 5. Vertical scale rows 50-55; lachrymal bone with 2 spines over maxillary, first points down and forward, second points down and back, sometimes second split distally into 2 points; suborbital ridge usually with 5 spines, sometimes some spines split in larger specimens (Ref. 10482).
This solitary species inhabits the outer edge of the reef (Ref. 583). Usually beneath ledges or near entrance to caves (Ref. 42181). Benthic (Ref. 58302). A prized food fish with population greatly reduced in main Hawaiian islands due to fishing pressure, especially by spear fishermen. Stomach contents include small fishes (holocentrid, acanthurid and Aulostomus chinensis) (Ref. 42181).
