Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward coral and rocky reefs (Ref. 9710). Prefer habitat consisting of boulder substrates or mixed rock, rubble, and sand, at depths between about 3 and 30 m (Ref. 125611). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding; eggs demersal and adhere to the substrate, and males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.8 - 28.8, mean 27.2 °C (based on 636 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00579 - 0.02736), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), 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 = 105 [61, 184] mg/100g; Iron = 0.862 [0.545, 1.367] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.107, 0.283] g/100g; Selenium = 24.4 [13.4, 46.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 253 [91, 669] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.68 [1.15, 2.32] mg/100g (wet weight);
