Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 21. Caudal fin rounded (Ref.5377).

Sedentary species which occurs on soft sand or mud, often partly buried or concealed in rock crevices, solitary in shallow water. Feeds on crustaceans, mollusks and small fishes (Ref. 7405). The female lays eggs which are large enough and which are turned over to the males who guard them (Ref. 5377). A species that is not venomous (Dr. Andread Kunznmann, Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), pers. communication 10/2021).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 15.5 - 27.5, mean 19.8 (based on 74 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00470 - 0.02937), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.64 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
