Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 9; Vertebrae : 25. General body color when fresh is greenish brown with scales finely flecked with pale; shade of white ventrally (belly sometimes dull rose or yellowish). Across the chin, 2 irregular dull reddish bars interspaced by white or yellow; upper opercular margin with a diffused dark spot. Hyaline pectorals with a yellowish flush; pelvic fins hyaline except for numerous small white spots and some reddish blotches. Flexible dorsal spines. Area circumscribed by pectoral fin unspotted. Lateral line interrupted (scales usually 19 + 7, occasionally 19 + 6).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal bays and deep lagoons (Ref. 48636 ). Inhabits seagrass beds or dense beds of algae. Well-camouflaged and easily overlooked (Ref. 48636 ). Feeds on these or the associated epiphytes. Caught nets and other types of artisanal gear.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Spawning at Aldabra occurs above grassflats on falling tides; protogynous hermaphroditism with both primary & secondary males occurring in the atoll's population has also been reported (Ref. 1875 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.5 - 28.9, mean 27.6 °C (based on 838 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00752 - 0.01922), b=3.13 (2.99 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Generation time: 1.2 ( 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=1.00). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 42.7 [22.0, 141.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.75 [0.32, 1.77] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.5, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.0887 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 18.2 [6.1, 48.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 40.4 [12.3, 139.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.35 [1.17, 4.07] mg/100g (wet weight);
