Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-13. Lower side has4 square black blotches, each with red bar (yellowish in deep water) below it.

Inhabits rocky and weedy areas. Synchronously hermaphroditic. Feeds on caridean shrimp and small fish (Ref. 5521).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Pelagic spawner. This species exhibits a combination of simultaneous and sequential hermaphroditism. Smaller individuals within a social group are simultaneous hermaphrodites, while the largest often lose female function and reproduce exclusively as a male (Ref. 103751).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.4 - 28, mean 26.9 °C (based on 330 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00521 - 0.02309), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.70 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 = 91.6 [47.8, 182.2] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.741 [0.377, 1.306] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.5 [16.6, 20.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.202 [0.122, 0.334] g/100g ; Selenium = 28.4 [14.9, 55.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 151 [47, 528] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.45 [0.96, 2.14] mg/100g (wet weight);
