Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occasional among rocks and rubble to depths of at least 10 m. They stay concealed among rocks, waiting for prey to come along. Are active predators which feed on crustaceans and fish (Ref. 5377). Possibly consumed in subsistence fisheries (Ref. 3254).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.4 - 20.1, mean 19.8 °C (based on 14 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00050 (0.00025 - 0.00101), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.67 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 43 [26, 85] mg/100g; Iron = 0.798 [0.453, 1.327] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.6, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.248 [0.111, 0.634] g/100g; Selenium = 35.8 [18.4, 77.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 8.77 [2.53, 31.31] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.572 [0.422, 0.812] mg/100g (wet weight);
