Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Malacoctenus margaritae differs from Malacoctenus mexicanus by the following characters: symphysial pores 1-4, usually 2-4 (vs. 1-4, usually 1); scales between anterior lateral line and the dorsal contour 3-4, usually 3 (vs. 4-5, usually 4); length of the third pelvic-fin ray is shorter and body marking is considerably more distinct in Malacoctenus margaritae (Ref. 82814).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00399 - 0.02083), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 398 [217, 876] mg/100g; Iron = 1.56 [0.95, 2.73] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [17.0, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.262 [0.140, 0.491] g/100g; Selenium = 28.1 [13.1, 60.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 62.1 [19.6, 187.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.31 [1.56, 3.38] mg/100g (wet weight);
