Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in aggregations over hard, algal coated bottoms of exposed, surf-swept outer reef flats, lagoon and seaward reefs, to a depth of at least 24 m (Ref. 30573 ). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302 ). Juveniles associated with floating material (Ref. 58302 ). Mainly herbivorous, feeding on seaweed and associated invertebrates (Ref. 30573 ). Appear to be more commonly involved in hallucinogenic fish poisoning than most other related species (Ref. 4690 ). Caught with other types of artisanal gear. Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29, mean 27.7 °C (based on 854 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.01253 - 0.03176), b=3.01 (2.87 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.9   ±0.33 se; based on food items. Generation time: 4.4 ( 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 (K=0.25). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  High vulnerability (62 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 43.6 [27.1, 58.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.56 [0.38, 0.86] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.123 [0.091, 0.167] g/100g; Selenium = 34.6 [22.7, 54.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 63.4 [24.5, 160.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.27 [0.97, 1.64] mg/100g (wet weight);
