Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4690 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 13 - 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 5. A drab species, usually brownish grey to reddish brown with a pattern of fine lines across the caudal fin. Eyes well elevated compared to the reef stonefish S. verrucosa (Ref. 48635 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits coastal reefs and estuaries (Ref. 9710 ). Makes a shallow depression by scooping up sand or mud with its pectoral fins until it is piled up around the sides of its body. Lies motionless on sandy bottom areas. Comes out at night and often moves on top of reefs (Ref. 48635 ). In Guinness Book of Records as most venomous fish (Ref. 6472 ). Solitary in coral rubble and rocks, extremely difficult to detect (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.4 - 29, mean 27.9 °C (based on 874 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00609 - 0.04318), b=3.05 (2.82 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.4   ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 35.7 [17.6, 70.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.558 [0.288, 1.280] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.6, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.19 [0.08, 0.49] g/100g; Selenium = 32.4 [16.6, 74.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 125 [40, 395] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.21 [0.84, 1.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
