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

Indo-West Pacific: East Africa to the Philippines, north to Japan, south to Australia and New Caledonia. Recently reported from Tonga (Ref. 53797 ).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 54.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4419 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-12; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 9 - 10. Body yellowish-brown; belly flap white except for a yellow area around a black blotch (Ref. 4419 ). The 2.0 cm recruit differs from the adult in the structure of its viscera, most strikingly by the presence of the very large distended stomach, lacking in the adult (Ref. 54815 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 14.8 - 26.8, mean 21.1 °C (based on 524 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.27 se; based on food items. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 32.4 [14.0, 72.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.591 [0.306, 1.333] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.9, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.12 [0.06, 0.23] g/100g; Selenium = 64.5 [32.7, 137.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31 [8, 118] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.962 [0.642, 1.437] mg/100g (wet weight);
