Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit coral and rocky reefs. The two specimens at the Bishop Museum were collected off Matahumu Point, Patu Hiva, Marquesas Islands in 6 to 12 meters (Ref. 7247). Feeds on zooplanktons (Ref. 89972). Life history characteristics for the family specify that this group is oviparous, with distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.9 - 28.1, mean 28.1 °C (based on 11 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00940 - 0.04644), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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 = 126 [61, 211] mg/100g; Iron = 0.875 [0.503, 1.482] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.9, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.113 [0.062, 0.198] g/100g; Selenium = 19 [9, 40] μg/100g; VitaminA = 168 [48, 587] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.65 [1.07, 2.46] mg/100g (wet weight);
