Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; brackish; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 50 m (Ref. 9710), usually 8 - 39 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Northwest Pacific: Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Reports from the Indian Ocean are based on specimens of Apogon bryx and those from the Philippines by Fowler and Bean (1930) are Apogon fasciatus.

Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 559)
Occurs mainly in shallow waters and tide pools (Ref. 58479). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178. Solitary or in small groups (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 18.1 - 26.6, mean 24.2 °C (based on 156 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00567 - 0.02929), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 166 [78, 299] mg/100g; Iron = 1.08 [0.59, 2.04] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.6, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.15 [0.08, 0.31] g/100g; Selenium = 36.1 [15.1, 77.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 51.4 [13.0, 200.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.26 [1.41, 3.40] mg/100g (wet weight);
