Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 58 - 63; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 48 - 52; Vertebre: 66 - 69. Light to dark brown with color, sometimes with dusky crossbars (Ref. 4395). Middle lateral line joining with the dorsal lateral line just above the pectoral fin base; midline of parietal canal with a single pore; dark spot above pectoral fin (Ref. 531). Pelvic fin rarely absent; dorsal and anal fin membranes united only basally to caudal fin (Ref. 49841).

Common in intertidal pools and marginal subtidal areas (Ref. 4395).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.1 - 22.6, mean 20.1 °C (based on 46 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.58 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
