Marine; brackish; reef-associated; depth range ? - 66 m (Ref. 58018 ). Tropical; 32°N - 24°S

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Indo-Pacific: East Africa to the Hawaiian, Marquesan and Tuamoto islands, north to southern Japan. No record from the Western Central Pacific but H. Senou believes that it occurs from the Philippines to north-eastern Australia (Ref. 9768 ). The exact range is uncertain because of confusion of this species with Sphyraena helleri (Ref. 9768 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1204 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 16.7 [7.8, 41.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.281 [0.133, 0.563] mg/100g; Protein = 20.5 [18.5, 22.1] %; Omega3 = 0.0961 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 31.6 [14.2, 77.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 44.9 [11.9, 235.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.526 [0.344, 0.895] mg/100g (wet weight);
