Short description पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स

पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 0; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 16 - 20.

Generally in coastal waters; often around man-made structures (Ref. 26938). Usually attached to gorgonians or seagrasses but may occur in floating Sargassum or swimming freely in midwater (Ref. 9710). Those that live in Sargassum usually have bony protuberances and fleshy tabs that may serve as camouflage. Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35420, 35422). Move into deeper waters during winter (Ref. 36630). Feeds by sucking in small organisms, using its long face as a pipette (Ref. 26938); like small crustaceans (Ref. 27549). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Length type refers to Height (= from top of coronet to the tip of straightened tail).

Incubates eggs in an external marsupium. Gestation period 20-21 days but varies with water temperature (Ref. 30915).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.1 - 27, mean 24 °C (based on 144 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00175 - 0.01142), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.51 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 3.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

लौटाव (Ref. 120179): ऊंचा, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी समय अवलागत 15 महीने। (K=0.34; tmax=1; Fec=1,552).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 47.1 [22.2, 120.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.62 [0.33, 1.15] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.4, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.186 [0.102, 0.333] g/100g; Selenium = 15.1 [6.8, 35.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 78.1 [23.5, 255.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.985 [0.614, 1.530] mg/100g (wet weight);
