Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 5 - 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 33; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 33 - 41; Vertebrae: 27. First dorsal fin composed of several short spines preceded by an anteriorly directed spine usually completely embedded under skin. Two detached anal spines anterior to soft anal fin. Lateral line curved and undulated, with more or less 10 branches anteriorly and fairly straight posteriorly (Ref. 27363). A black patch on the opercle is a conspicuous character of this species, thus the name signata (Ref. 3157).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 11.3 - 22, mean 19.3 °C (based on 75 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00482 - 0.02276), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm>=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (75 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 82.5 [51.3, 199.0] mg/100g; Iron = 1.55 [0.91, 3.06] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [17.7, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.37 [0.24, 0.61] g/100g; Selenium = 32.6 [17.9, 64.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 12.1 [3.9, 34.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.637 [0.443, 0.914] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
