Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Solitary; lives in dark recesses of rocky habitat; moves on vertical sides of large rocks or on undersides of overhanging rocks with belly very close to substrate and using large pectoral fins; feeds on macro-invertebrates like crustaceans and insect larvae which are found in the slits, cracks, holes and crevices of their habitat (Ref. 7343, 46829). Always observed in shady parts of rocks; might be nocturnal; large eyes may be adaptation for enhanced night vision (Ref. 95525).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
