Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 16; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 14 - 16; Vertebrae: 56 - 60. Prolonged, beak-like lower jaw, contained in 4.2-5.9 times in SL and 0.95-1.4 times in head length; upper jaw short, triangular, and scaly, its width 0.6-0.9 times in its length; length of preorbital bone contained in 1.7-2.2 times in diameter of orbit and 1.0-1.4 times in length of upper jaw. Total number of gill rakers on first arch 33-47; dorsal and anal fin rays 14-16. Caudal fin forked, with lower lobe longer than upper (Ref. 9843).
Most common around islands and coral reefs (Ref. 6041). Found in schools at surface of lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710, 48635). Marketed fresh and dried salted (Ref. 9843).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 3118 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00257 (0.00115 - 0.00574), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.48 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 209 [47, 470] mg/100g; Iron = 0.715 [0.260, 2.500] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.105 [0.048, 0.313] g/100g; Selenium = 21 [9, 55] μg/100g; VitaminA = 285 [74, 954] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.17 [0.47, 3.22] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
