Etymology: Priolepis: Greek, prio = to saw + Greek,lepis = scale (Ref. 45335); nuchifasciata: Name from Latin nucha meaning nape and fascia meaning band, referring to the banding pattern on the head; noun in apposition (Ref. 9018).
More on author: Günther.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8. Distinguished from its congeners in having a pelvic fraenum and branched dorsal-fin rays (Ref. 9018); characterized by reddish to mauve with dark scale margins forming network on side of body; head and upper back below dorsal fin with series of dark-edged pale grey to whitish bars; pair of bars found anterior to pectoral fin forming inverted "Y"; sometimes with yellow head; longitudinal scale series 23-26; ctenoid body scales to level of base of pectoral fin; predorsal, cheek, opercle, prepelvic area and base of pectoral fin without scales; absence of vertical rows of papillae on cheek; depth of body 3.0-3.7 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2079 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 161 [58, 455] mg/100g; Iron = 1.28 [0.55, 2.76] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [17.1, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.271 [0.100, 0.676] g/100g; Selenium = 11.9 [3.8, 32.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 72.6 [14.4, 320.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.51 [1.38, 4.23] mg/100g (wet weight);
