Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9. Body whitish with a broad dark brown stripe from snout to base of caudal fin. Preopercle spines, 4-5. Ctenoid scales on head, cheek, opercle, and rest of the body except on pectoral base and prepelvic region where it is cycloid (Ref. 31115); characterized further by absence of prolonged spines; longitudinal scale series 24; 4-5 weak spines on rear edge of preopercle, similar size all spines; rounded caudal fin; depth of body 3.3-4.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits rubble bottoms in lagoons and sheltered coastal reefs. Typically hovers a short distance above the bottom, apparently to feed on zooplankton (Ref. 31115). Solitary or in small group (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1066 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
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 = 413 [181, 1,403] mg/100g; Iron = 1.81 [0.75, 4.07] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.3, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.108 [0.033, 0.326] g/100g; Selenium = 33.2 [9.1, 107.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 189 [41, 912] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.15 [2.21, 7.04] mg/100g (wet weight);
