Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 6; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9 - 10; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 9. Color bluish or brownish dorsally, silvery ventrally (Ref. 6885).

Usually near shore or near the surface (Ref. 2850). Often in small schools (Ref. 2850). Young enter bays (Ref. 2850). Feed mainly on other fishes (Ref. 2850). Pelagic spawners (Ref. 56049). Migrate south from the California coast during autumn, but may remain in front of the Mexican coast throughout the year (Ref. 9345). Utilized fresh, dried or salted and frozen; eaten broiled and baked (Ref. 9988). Considered as potentially dangerous due to its large, sharp teeth and aggressive disposition, though there are no reports of attacks (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.9 - 23.1, mean 12.4 °C (based on 212 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 7.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (K=0.14; tm=2-3; tmax=12; Fec=42,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (69 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Medium.
