Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes(genus, species) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa

Teleostei (teleosts) > Blenniiformes (Blennies) > Chaenopsidae (Pike-, tube- and flagblennies)
Etymology: Neoclinus: Greek,neos = new + Greek, klinein, kline = sloping and bed, due to the four apophyses of sphenoid bone (Ref. 45335);  uninotatus: Neoclinus new Clinus ; uninotatus one mark, for the single ocellatus (Ref. 4930).

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 8.9  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2850); max. reported age: 7 years (Ref. 43439)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Usually occurs on bottom along coast and in bays. Lives inside objects, including bottles, cans, and tires.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvae

Females lay eggs in abandoned boring clam holes, under rocks, in beer containers, and other containers. Males guard the eggs until they hatch (Ref. 43439).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.8 - 19, mean 15.9 °C (based on 43 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00183 - 0.01143), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=1; tmax=7; Fec = 600).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
