Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults live solitary or in pairs in weedy, shallow coastal areas (Ref. 4119). Feed on small invertebrates (Ref. 4119). Males build a nest from algae and debris, using kidney excrete as glue. Spawning season is May to June. Females deposit 150 - 200 eggs in the nest and often die shortly afterwards (Ref. 9900). Males care for and defend the nest. Offsprings reach maturity in one year (Ref. 4645).

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

Males build, guard and aerate the nest where the eggs are deposited (Ref. 205). Also Ref. 53335.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.5 - 12.5, mean 9.9 °C (based on 512 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00205 - 0.01068), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=1.78; tm=1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 35 [8, 105] mg/100g; Iron = 0.37 [0.14, 1.25] mg/100g; Protein = 2.67 [0.00, 6.47] %; Omega3 = 0.522 [0.226, 1.292] g/100g; Selenium = 9.45 [1.54, 29.35] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.8 [6.0, 61.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.842 [0.413, 1.601] mg/100g (wet weight);
