Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10; Vertebrae: 26. Upper pectoral fin rays entire. Nape with as many as 30 dark spots. A prominent diagonal, black line from posterior part of upper jaw to operculum. 4 broad, dark bands on abdomen; 2nd dorsal fin with 3-4 rows of black spots; pectoral fin clear, base with 2 small dusky spots. Predorsal cycloid scales 7-9, trunk ctenoid. In male, anal fin when appressed reaching almost the caudal fin; appressed 2nd dorsal fin overlapping caudal. Anal and 2nd dorsal fins of female when appressed reaching to within a distance of 2-3 scales of caudal fin (Ref. 420); longitudinal scale series 30-32; depth of body 4.9-5.6 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Found in sandy areas with both living coral and coral rubble, and from both moderately clear and turbid water (Ref. 48637).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00623 - 0.01681), b=3.03 (2.89 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 0.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 196 [100, 450] mg/100g; Iron = 1.08 [0.55, 2.06] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.5, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.144 [0.062, 0.281] g/100g; Selenium = 19.6 [9.5, 41.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 127 [34, 437] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.58 [1.65, 3.92] mg/100g (wet weight);
