Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 16; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9. Snout somewhat pointed, dorsal profile of head steeply sloped. Preorbital bone about equal to eye diameter, or slightly wider. Preopercular notch and knob poorly developed. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Generally blue-gray on upper side, grading to white or yellow white ventrally with a series of eight or nine or orange or yellow stripes on the sides. The fins are yellowish; the pectoral fins have a distinct black spot at base of uppermost rays and axil.
May be found in turbid coastal waters (Ref. 90102). Adults inhabit coral reefs in both sheltered lagoons and on outer reef slopes. Often encountered in schools of up to 20 to 30 individuals. (Ref. 55)

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.1 - 29.1, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1340 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00745 - 0.02937), b=2.96 (2.80 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.37-0.45; tmax=20; Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 39.8 [23.9, 60.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.392 [0.255, 0.642] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.8, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.138 [0.093, 0.205] g/100g; Selenium = 59.3 [35.5, 99.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 224 [44, 920] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.433 [0.332, 0.617] mg/100g (wet weight);
