> Centrarchiformes (Basses) > Kyphosidae (Sea chubs)
Etymology: Kyphosus: Greek, kyphos = bent (Ref. 45335);  pacificus: Named for its distribution in the Pacific Ocean..

Issue
Kyphosus sandwicensis (Sauvage, ) has been considered as an older name for this species, at least for the Hawaiian population (Ref. 54980). Further study of the genus may show that the name Kyphosus sandwicensis will replace the name Kyphosus pacificus elsewhere in the central and western Pacific (Ref. 86689).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.3 - 29.3, mean 28 °C (based on 1406 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01820 (0.00772 - 0.04289), b=3.01 (2.81 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 23 [10, 39] mg/100g; Iron = 0.514 [0.281, 0.934] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.6, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.108 [0.057, 0.210] g/100g; Selenium = 17.4 [7.2, 40.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.6 [3.8, 93.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.835 [0.528, 1.361] mg/100g (wet weight);
