Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7-9; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 9. Pale with numerous small, dark-gray and black spots and vermiculations on sides; no markings on venter; prominent black spot just above pectoral fin base; fins dusky, the margins transparent. Equal numbers of teeth in each jaw, the canines strong and longer than the four pairs of incisors; middle pair of incisors smooth-edged, the outer ones trifid; posterior nostril in front of anterior margin of orbit; gill membrane attached opposite upper edge of pectoral fin; anus closer to anal-fin origin than to rear margin of disc.

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs along shallow coastal shores, where it probably clings to rocks of the substratum.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.1 - 23.7, mean 20.3 °C (based on 102 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00250 - 0.01521), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 337 [165, 843] mg/100g; Iron = 1.53 [0.80, 3.11] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [16.2, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.282 [0.136, 0.579] g/100g; Selenium = 9.97 [4.09, 28.85] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50.9 [12.4, 198.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.68 [1.02, 2.65] mg/100g (wet weight);
