Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits shallow, rocky coastal areas to 80 m depth. Rarely enters estuaries. Feeds on crabs, crayfish, sea urchins and other hard-shelled animals (Ref. 3670 ). Takes almost any bait (Ref. 3198 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 16.7 - 26, mean 23.9 °C (based on 36 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01549 (0.00846 - 0.02836), b=3.06 (2.91 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.6   ±0.40 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (K=0.05; tmax=45). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High to very high vulnerability (74 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 35.5 [18.7, 71.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.796 [0.436, 1.497] mg/100g; Protein = 19.9 [18.9, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.312 [0.189, 0.521] g/100g; Selenium = 32.4 [14.4, 64.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.53 [2.05, 23.50] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.739 [0.512, 1.054] mg/100g (wet weight);
