Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14; Vertebre: 24. This species of the Leiognathus splendens complex is distinguished by the following characters: no scales on cheek; anterior dorsolateral body surface almost completely scaled without a semicircular naked area on nape; lower margin of inner preopercular ridge is smooth or weakly serrated (including the neotype); interspace of pelvic keels without scales; second spines of dorsal and anal fins are robust (width of second spines of dorsal and anal fins 0.87-1.6% of SL and 0.76-1.7% of SL, respectively); a jet black blotch on spinous dorsal fin (Ref. 75583).

This schooling species inhabits coastal waters. It feeds on fish, crustaceans, foraminiferans, and bivalves (Ref. 5213). The annotated bibliography of Leiognathidae by Pauly and Wade-Pauly (Ref. 4961) includes 172 references pertaining explicitly to Leiognathus splendens.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 29.1, mean 28.1 °C (based on 1680 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01525 - 0.02494), b=2.97 (2.90 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.38 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 1.2 (1.0 - 1.4) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 22 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.33-1.60; tm=1; tmax=2.3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 301 [127, 1,001] mg/100g; Iron = 1.94 [0.82, 4.73] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.231 [0.128, 0.423] g/100g; Selenium = 125 [48, 357] μg/100g; VitaminA = 4.78 [0.90, 27.87] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.33 [1.09, 4.14] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
