Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 4 - 5; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24 - 27; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 22 - 24. Body pale brown with several dark brown vertical and horizontal stripes composed of dark brown blotches. A row of dark brown blotches on middle of dorsal fin membrane. An obvious black blotch on base of upper lobe of caudal fin (Ref. 27363).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Found on rocky and sandy bottoms in coastal waters (Ref. 53324). Oviparous with low batch fecundity (Ref. 53324). "We frequently catch P. semifasciata off the Rio de Janeiro coast. I have personally seen fish of 24 kg, with fish in the 12-18 kg range being fairly common (Capt. Eduardo Baumeier, pers. comm., 2001)." Ref. 27569 gave 10 kg as maximum weight.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 10.4 - 18.3, mean 14.5 °C (based on 176 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00551 - 0.01656), b=3.03 (2.87 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.9   ±0.68 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming tmax>10).
