Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-15; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7. Head spines weak - nasal, preocular, postocular, tympanic and parietal spines present, supraocular, coronal and nuchal spines absent (Ref. 27437). Notch on dorsal fin shallow; 2nd anal fin spine is of the same length or shorter than the 3rd (Ref. 27437). Caudal fin moderately indented (Ref. 6885). Light red and mottled with olive on back, lower sides flushed with yellow; light red stripe along lateral line; lips blackened; fins red with some light green or yellow (Ref. 27437).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in areas where rocky reefs and steep silt-covered cliff faces meet gently sloping sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 27436). Found hovering just off the bottom or resting on a rocky perch (Ref. 27436). Viviparous (Ref. 34817). Sold as fresh or frozen fillets, together with other rockfish species (Ref. 27436). Not popular as a game fish (Ref. 27436).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.7 - 6.6, mean 5.4 °C (based on 51 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00499 - 0.02004), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 7.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.15-0.18; tmax=55).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (58 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
