Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Presence of pelvic fins which do not or just reach a vertical through the pectoral fin bases; present; origin of dorsal fin above base or anterior part of pectoral fin; without dermal appendages around mouth; gill opening extending downward to at least the middle of pectoral fin base, but not reaching the lower end of pectoral fin base; head depressed; body elongated and tail compressed, with depth about 7-9% TL (Ref. 37311).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits rocky intertidal zones and estuaries with suitable conditions (Ref. 11954). Found among macroalgae, below rocks and stones (Ref. 37311).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.8 - 14.1, mean 10 °C (based on 136 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00057 - 0.00252), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 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 (43 of 100).
