Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 14-16; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 10. Head spines weak - nasal, preocular spines present, parietals usually present, supraocular, postocular and tympanic spines usually absent, coronal and nuchal spines absent (Ref. 27437). Interorbital space convex, sloped; no symphyseal knob; caudal peduncle narrow; anal fin with a strong posterior slant (Ref. 27437). Caudal fin indented (Ref. 6885). Gold brown to dusky, light ventrally; membranes of fins dark, lighter on spinous dorsal (Ref. 27437).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

A generally active and free-swimming rockfish found in midwater above a rocky reef or steep shoreline; occasionally huddling motionless among caves and crevices (Ref. 27436). Young are found in shallow water (Ref. 2850). Form schools (Ref. 2850). Feed mostly on small pelagic crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 2850). Viviparous (Ref. 34817). Marketed fresh and frozen; eaten pan-fried, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.4 - 8.6, mean 5.6 °C (based on 213 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00499 - 0.02004), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (tm=6; tmax=60; also Musick et al. 2000 (Ref. 36717)).
