Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); It is an amphibious blenny that inhabits exposed and moderately exposed rocky intertidal habitats (Refs. 120780, 130806). It is occasionally found in the mouths of rivers. The actual occurrence of this euryhaline species in freshwater is uncertain (Ref. 4342). It stays above the water line on moist or wet surfaces as it moves both vertically and horizontally with the tide. Feeds on emerged microscopic algae scraped from the rocks (Ref. 130806). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Oviparous, with distinct pairing (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.4 - 28.9, mean 27.5 (based on 267 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
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).
