Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 14; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Body ovate; head profile almost straight. Mouth small; lips not thickened; two pores and a central groove under the chin. No antrorse spine before the dorsal fin origin; notch between the spinous and soft-rayed portion of the dorsal fin shallow. Color is generally silver-mauve to fawn above, white below. Small specimens with numerous spots aligned horizontally or fused into horizontal lines; large specimens plain or with scattered charcoal scale spots on back and upper sides; the snout is dark brown; the upper operculum charcoal or purplish.

Found in coastal waters (Ref. 30573, 48635). Enters freshwaters (4867). Marketed fresh, may be salted (Ref. 5284).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.2 - 28.5, mean 27.4 °C (based on 853 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.01117 - 0.01706), b=2.98 (2.94 - 3.02), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.2-0.5; tmax=19).

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

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (81 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 96.2 [20.9, 182.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.981 [0.516, 1.813] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.0, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.238 [0.127, 0.403] g/100g; Selenium = 65.1 [37.7, 117.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 13.5 [6.4, 26.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.80, 1.56] mg/100g (wet weight);
