Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

One of the most common of the squirrelfishes that occurs in outer reef areas, also encountered in lagoons and drop-offs from less than 2 to 40 m; either solitary or in groups (Ref. 27370 ). Nocturnal, feeds mainly on benthic crabs and shrimps.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25 - 29, mean 27.9 °C (based on 820 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.01302 - 0.03676), b=3.01 (2.86 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.9   ±0.67 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 54.9 [21.4, 211.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.507 [0.199, 1.513] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.6, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.152 [0.067, 0.345] g/100g; Selenium = 31.4 [18.5, 60.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 78.4 [30.1, 217.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.7 [0.7, 3.2] mg/100g (wet weight);
