Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Usually has dark spot (larger than pupil) on lateral line just behind gill opening.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.

Occurs in sea grass beds from near shore to at least 22 m. Small individuals have been known to form small aggregations. Feeds primarily on invertebrates. Marketed mostly fresh and frozen (Ref. 9739).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 23.4 - 26.7, mean 24.7 °C (based on 121 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01064 - 0.04934), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100). 🛈

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 193 [96, 355] mg/100g; Iron = 1.2 [0.6, 2.4] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.2, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.185 [0.106, 0.336] g/100g; Selenium = 37.4 [17.9, 78.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.7 [5.0, 62.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.16 [0.76, 1.73] mg/100g (wet weight);
