Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are pelagic and are abundant around oceanic islands while not found in neritic areas (Ref. 9283, 58302). May be encountered in solitary, pairs or small schools. Schools frequent sandy river basins, sandy channels of lagoon and seaward reefs. Feed on small crustaceans in the sand (Ref. 9283). Marketed fresh and dried or salted (Ref. 9283). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.7 - 29, mean 27.7 °C (based on 1736 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.01199 - 0.01518), b=2.96 (2.93 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
