Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15-18; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 11 - 13; Vertebrae: 35. Caudal fin barely rounded.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits rocky, sandy and muddy bottoms as well as kelp beds (Ref. 4925). Adults and juveniles feed on crustaceans, fishes and mollusks (Ref. 6885). Commonly captured by sport fishers (from shore, boats or piers) and by scuba divers (Ref. 2850). Flesh is good eating but eggs are poisonous and will make humans violently ill (Ref. 13513).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.5 - 11.6, mean 8.9 °C (based on 40 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [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):  3.6   ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 3.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=3; tmax=13; K=0.3, Fec=40,000-90,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
