Adults inhabit inshore waters (Ref. 7300). Occur in small to large aggregations in weed patches attached to rocks on sand, mostly in Sargassum weeds (Ref. 9002). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128812.

Life cycle and mating behavior Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva

Male incubates the eggs in a pouch. Produces 50 to 100 young in single or combined brood from several females (Ref. 9002).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 15 - 18.4, mean 16.9 °C (based on 188 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00175 - 0.01142), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278): 3.5 ±0.48 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Referencia 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Fec=50-100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
