Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 1 - 4; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 52 - 56; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 46 - 55.

Inhabits barren, open areas of outer reef slopes. Occurs in pairs over rocks or sandy areas adjacent to reefs (Ref. 5213). Usually lives in a burrow of their own construction, often under a surface rock on sand (Ref. 48635). Has pelagic stage to at least 5 cm, hence smaller juveniles are not seen on the substrate (Ref. 48635). Benthic and Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Marketed fresh (Ref. 9119).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.5 - 29, mean 27.9 (based on 1154 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00236 - 0.01221), b=3.03 (2.82 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Very high.
