Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are found in rocky areas (Ref. 37955 ), inhabiting holes and crevices, often in burrows of boring clams or tubes of marine worms, also in mussel beds (Ref. 2850 ). Mostly sedentary and territorial (Ref. 2850 ). Demersal spawners in nearshore habitats (Ref. 56049 ). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205 ), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114 ). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 14.9 - 24.3, mean 22.3 °C (based on 117 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 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.8   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=5.5; Fec = 1,540). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
