Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecologia

marino associati a barriera corallina; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 30 m (Ref. 89707), usually 1 - 15 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 36°N - 34°S, 30°E - 143°E (Ref. 5222)

Distribuzione Stati | Aree FAO | Ecosystems | Presenze | Point map | Introduzioni | Faunafri

Indo-West Pacific: western India to Philippines, north to southern Japan (Honshu), south to northern Australia. 'Epinephelus formosus' from Madagascar (Ref. 6457), Réunion and Mauritius (Ref. 6458) are probably based on misidentifications of Cephalopholis polleni. Confused with Cephalopholis boenak.

Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m 17.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 34.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4787)

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 15-17; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. Characterized by: dark brown to yellowish brown color with narrow blue stripes; body with ctenoid scales, including abdomen; greatest depth of body 2.5-2.9 in SL; rounded caudal fin; pelvic fins, 1.6-2.0 in head length (Ref. 90102): head length 2.4-2.6 in SL; preorbital depth 3.6-4.3% SL, more than half maxilla width; convex interorbital area; rounded preopercle, finely serrate, lower edge fleshy; smooth subopercle and interopercle; maxilla naked, reaching to or just past vertical at rear edge of eye (Ref. 089707).

Like C. boenak, it prefers shallow dead or silty reefs and this may account for the primarily continental distributions of these two species. Solitary (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.5 - 29.3, mean 28.7 (based on 2081 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00620 - 0.01613), b=2.97 (2.84 - 3.10), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Fec = 80,208).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
