Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 6; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: no fraenum; a high pectoral fin count of 18-19; pelvic ray subequal o the fourth; position of the head bars with postocular bar joining the opercular bar at a level with the eye; scale pockets strongly outlined with melanophores and brown chromatophores (Ref. 9018); characterized further by yellowish brown body with darker brown scale edges; body with six narrow whitish bars; longitudinal scale series 23-26; head and nape without scales; ctenoid body scales except cycloid on abdomen; bony interorbital space half pupil diameter; cheek with single vertical row of papillae; depth of body 4.7 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Inhabits reef crevices (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.9 - 29.3, mean 28 °C (based on 1657 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 357 [158, 1,048] mg/100g; Iron = 1.62 [0.73, 3.39] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.0, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.165 [0.057, 0.438] g/100g; Selenium = 27.1 [9.3, 68.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 126 [29, 564] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.13 [2.34, 6.66] mg/100g (wet weight);
