Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-12; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 7. Diagnosis: body short and globose; mouth large with many small, villiform teeth; skin rough, covered with bifurcate dermal spinules; pectoral-fin lobes attached to sides of body; illicium at most as long as second dorsal-fin spine; head, body and fins entirely covered with rough, parallel, dark streaks (Ref. 57225 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabit rocky and coral reefs, on rocks, sand or rubble (Ref. 9710 ). Found in weedy estuaries along the east coast of southern Africa (Ref. 4113 ). Occurring in marine or brackish waters (Ref. 57225 ). In the Atlantic, it is found at an average depth of 40 m (Ref. 5288 ). Benthic (Ref. 58302 ). Observed to inflate itself greatly like the puffers (Ref. 5521 ). Oviparous. Males have more intense coloration and extended cutaneous appendages than females (Ref. 205 ). Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 18.2 - 28.6, mean 27 °C (based on 287 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.2   ±0.7 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec = 73,000). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 26.8 [11.8, 72.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.576 [0.292, 1.139] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [17.1, 23.0] %; Omega3 = 0.214 [0.076, 0.560] g/100g; Selenium = 15.7 [6.2, 38.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 88.5 [18.8, 404.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.736 [0.437, 1.191] mg/100g (wet weight);
