Short description
Morphology
|
Morphometrics
Preopercle smooth, scales smooth, no scales on midline in front of dorsal fin.
Prefers clear insular waters of oceanic islands (Ref.
9626
). Has a commensal relationship with the conch shell
Lobatus gigas
(where it is found in the mantle cavity) and with the bivalve
Atrina rigida
(Ref.
9626
). Emerges at night from the conch shell to feed on small crustaceans. Males brood the eggs in their mouths. (Ref.
26938
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.8 - 28, mean 27.1 °C (based on 188 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00528 - 0.02384), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155
): Calcium = 157 [94, 300] mg/100g; Iron = 1.09 [0.64, 1.75] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.9, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.177 [0.105, 0.300] g/100g; Selenium = 30.2 [15.5, 56.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 99.3 [34.8, 288.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.17 [1.45, 3.08] mg/100g (wet weight);
