Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-13; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 7. Coloration ranges from an ashy grey or light yellow to dark brown or even pitch black. On dark individuals, the median fins have pale edges. Bony part of illicium shorter than 2nd dorsal spine; esca oblong or tapering, usually directed ventrally.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in intertidal reef flats (Ref. 1602). Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.3 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2249 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 71.7 [32.9, 133.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.668 [0.329, 1.315] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.3, 21.9] %; Omega3 = 0.106 [0.037, 0.270] g/100g; Selenium = 16.2 [6.7, 42.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 249 [56, 1,022] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.21 [0.72, 2.01] mg/100g (wet weight);
