Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

Occurs mainly along the rocky coast; feeds exclusively on fishes and mainly on young and sub-adults of cyprichromine cichlids; when hunting for prey, it exhibits aggressive mimicry by changing its body coloration; seems to breed in rather deep water (> 30 m); probably monogamous (Ref. 76873).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
