Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274 ); Adults are most common in shallow water (0-5m), although recorded from depths of 30 m (Ref. 84085 ). They are commonly found in intertidal rock pools, particularly those with adequate rocky or algal shelter. They feed mainly on amphipods, isopods, and polychaetes (Ref. 13227 ). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240 ). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 10.4 - 18.5, mean 14.9 °C (based on 161 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00299 - 0.01058), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.2   ±0.45 se; based on food items. Generation time: 0.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.20; tmax=3). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 130 [65, 298] mg/100g; Iron = 0.491 [0.264, 0.997] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [16.0, 18.3] %; Omega3 = 0.422 [0.172, 0.977] g/100g; Selenium = 9.31 [3.45, 25.01] μg/100g; VitaminA = 35.9 [7.7, 169.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.32 [0.84, 2.00] mg/100g (wet weight);
