Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits caves and hides under ledges of subtidal reef flats, channels and margins to outer reef slopes (Ref. 9710 , 58302 ). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302 ). Occurs in loose aggregations (Ref. 9710 ). Feeds mainly on plankton such as crab larvae. Almost always caught at night (Ref. 9307 ). Marketed fresh (Ref. 9307 ). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.2 °C (based on 3413 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.01609 - 0.02475), b=3.01 (2.96 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.57 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 (20 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 50.8 [24.2, 167.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.721 [0.311, 1.458] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.3, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.178 [0.074, 0.415] g/100g; Selenium = 41.9 [24.9, 76.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 110 [44, 272] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.1 [0.7, 1.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
