Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species lacks a large pale area on the head (extending from the throat to snout) that is present in S. coelestinus. S. trispinosus has roughly homogenously-colored scales on flanks unlike in S. coelestinus where flank scales have distinct dark margins. S. trispinosus also lack the irregular bright-blue blotches on nape and around the eye. Juveniles are similarly colored as the adults, but bear a yellowish area on nape, similar to subadults of S. coelestinus (Ref. 40827).
Occurs in coral, algal and rocky reefs and on algal beds (Ref. 40827).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.5 - 27.6, mean 27.1 °C (based on 162 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.01054 - 0.03288), b=3.05 (2.90 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 30.6 [19.9, 51.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.67 [0.47, 1.02] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.5, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.0835 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 19.8 [12.4, 31.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.2 [13.9, 150.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.04 [1.54, 2.63] mg/100g (wet weight);
