Eastern Atlantic: coast of Portugal, Spain and Morocco south to Guinea. Also in all parts of the Mediterranean (except Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt), in the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea, and Canary Islands (Ref. 5981).

Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults occur over sandy bottoms with boulders and light vegetation. They hide in crevices where the nests are being guarded by the male (Ref. 5981). Oviparous. 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).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Oviparous (Ref. 205). Several females visit the hole to spawn with the resident male which guards the nest (Ref. 5981).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 16.1 - 21.7, mean 19.2 (based on 643 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00475 - 0.01456), b=2.92 (2.77 - 3.07), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

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).
