Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 10. Large adults appear blue underwater and usually have a small black spot at the dorsal fin base. Juveniles have a large white saddle spot following the black spot (Ref. 48636 ). A moderately small but prominent dark spot present on body at base of last dorsal-fin spine (spot not extending onto fin membrane). Body scales each with a blue centre in life forming horizontal rows of spots on side. Second prominent anterior canine in lower jaw distinctly shorter than first in adults, directed mostly dorsally and slightly anteriorly. 3 to 5 scales on subopercle. (Ref 9823)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabit flat sandy or weedy areas near lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710 ). Solitary. Feed mainly on hard-shelled prey including crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins. Marketed mostly fresh. In Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253 ).

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

Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.5 - 29, mean 27.9 °C (based on 478 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00582 - 0.02984), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.41 se; based on food items. Generation time: 4.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 29.2 [17.1, 44.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.517 [0.303, 0.893] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.0, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.123 [0.083, 0.189] g/100g; Selenium = 44.2 [27.5, 74.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.1 [15.6, 155.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.975 [0.721, 1.477] mg/100g (wet weight);
