Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-12; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 11 - 12. Preorbital serrae 10-20; body depth 2.6-2.9 in SL; dorsal profile of head nearly straight; eye not very large, orbit diameter 3.0-3.45 in head length; caudal concavity 1.45-1.7 in head length; third anal fin spine longer than second; pelvic fin spine 2.3-2.9 in head length. Silvery with a coarse silver and black reticulum dorsally on head; posterior edge of caudal fin blackish (Ref. 41640 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Length at maturity about 18 cm. Taken with hook and line using bread or shrimp for bait (Ref. 44091 ). A native Hawaiian fish found in both marine and freshwater habitats. Feeds on fishes, invertebrates, and insects. Sr/Ca profiles from otoliths of juvenile and adult fish from fresh and salt water indicated that use of stream habitats by this species is facultative (Ref. 51353 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 28.9, mean 27.4 °C (based on 579 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.01000 - 0.03980), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.8   ±0.56 se; based on food items. Generation time: 3.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.33). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 128 [75, 217] mg/100g; Iron = 0.857 [0.544, 1.398] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [17.3, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.13, 0.42] g/100g; Selenium = 36.2 [19.9, 65.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45.6 [18.6, 112.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.65 [1.21, 2.29] mg/100g (wet weight);
