Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 21 - 24; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 12-13; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 24 - 26. Pale to dark greyish-green in color, breaking up into four broad saddles on the body with pale green and white between. Belly white. Fins dark mottled olive-green. Distinguished from other triplefins by its large size and rounded bulbous head, the lateral line which is continuous to the caudal peduncle and rows of large recurved teeth in the jaws.

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults prefer exposed reefs and deeper pools. Also found in rock pools (Ref. 9003). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114). B. dorsalis is the largest known triplefin species and the only fish predator in the family (Ref. 13227).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [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).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
