Descrição breve Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 43 - 50; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 46 - 52. Snout concave (Ref. 1602); olive brown to grey in color, juveniles may be yellowish brown with dark spots (Ref. 4421). Elongate, strongly compressed filefish; tan with blue lines and spots.

Inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Occasionally are seen under floating objects (Ref. 1602). Juveniles may travel with weed rafts in open ocean for a long time and reaching a large size. Adults are usually seen along deep coastal slopes or outer reef drop-offs in about 20 meters depth (Ref. 48637). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 22.6 - 29, mean 27.4 (based on 1766 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00943 - 0.04220), b=2.93 (2.75 - 3.11), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Médio, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Assuming tm=3-4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
