Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 8. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral and pelvic fins long, reaching to between level of anus and origin of anal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin produced to form a trailing filament. A line drawn up from the posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile 5 to 7 scale rows before origin of dorsal fin. Axillary scale present. Body color pink, paler below. Head pink, a yellow stripe from upper lip extending to antero-ventral margin of eye. Two faint yellow bars across cheek sometimes present. Pelvic fins with yellow stripes.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits muddy or sandy bottoms. Young fish generally occur in shallower water between 18 and 33 m. Feeds on crustaceans, fish and cephalopods. One of the most important commercial fish in the East China Sea and northern South China Sea. May be made into fish balls (Ref. 4931 ).

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

This species is a rudimentary hermaphrodite in which males have functional testes with rudimentary ovarian portions that remain throughout their life.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24 - 29, mean 28.1 °C (based on 352 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.01185 - 0.01684), b=2.96 (2.92 - 3.00), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.0   ±0.57 se; based on food items. Generation time: 3.2 (2.5 - 3.7) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 14 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.24-0.45; Fec=2,000). Prior r = 0.91, 95% CL = 0.60 - 1.37, Based on 2 stock assessments. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 353 [80, 674] mg/100g; Iron = 1.1 [0.4, 3.1] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.298 [0.148, 0.650] g/100g; Selenium = 49.2 [19.9, 137.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.82 [2.30, 54.41] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.707 [0.413, 2.373] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
