Teleostei (teleosts) > Perciformes/Serranoidei (Groupers) > Epinephelidae (Groupers)
Etymology: Cephalopholis: Greek, kephale = head + Greek, pholis = scale (Ref. 45335 ) .
More on author: Shaw .

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; reef-associated; non-migratory; depth range 1 - 30 m (Ref. 89707 ), usually 1 - 15 m (Ref. 90102 ). Tropical; 36°N - 34°S, 30°E - 143°E (Ref. 5222 )

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Indo-West Pacific: western India to Philippines, north to southern Japan (Honshu), south to northern Australia. ' Epinephelus formosus ' from Madagascar (Ref. 6457 ), Réunion and Mauritius (Ref. 6458 ) are probably based on misidentifications of Cephalopholis polleni . Confused with Cephalopholis boenak .

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m 17.0   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 34.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4787 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15-17; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 7 - 8. Characterized by: dark brown to yellowish brown color with narrow blue stripes; body with ctenoid scales, including abdomen; greatest depth of body 2.5-2.9 in SL; rounded caudal fin; pelvic fins, 1.6-2.0 in head length (Ref. 90102 ): head length 2.4-2.6 in SL; preorbital depth 3.6-4.3% SL, more than half maxilla width; convex interorbital area; rounded preopercle, finely serrate, lower edge fleshy; smooth subopercle and interopercle; maxilla naked, reaching to or just past vertical at rear edge of eye (Ref. 089707 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Like C. boenak , it prefers shallow dead or silty reefs and this may account for the primarily continental distributions of these two species. Solitary (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 26.5 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 2081 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00620 - 0.01613), b=2.97 (2.84 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec = 80,208). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (24 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 54 [30, 97] mg/100g; Iron = 0.577 [0.329, 1.080] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.16 [0.10, 0.25] g/100g; Selenium = 29.7 [16.5, 50.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 181 [65, 556] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.823 [0.596, 1.337] mg/100g (wet weight);
