Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found usually offshore, 5-330 m on sand, mud, shell debris, gravel and corallines. Feeds on young fish (Ref. 92840). Eggs found in mollusk shells, guarded by male (Ref. 42425). Eggs are pear-shaped (Ref. 4696).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7 - 11.7, mean 9.2 °C (based on 381 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00398 - 0.01382), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.54 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fecundity assumed <1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 129 [71, 411] mg/100g; Iron = 0.714 [0.323, 1.537] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.6, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.876 [0.349, 2.018] g/100g; Selenium = 11.6 [4.9, 29.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.8 [9.1, 160.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.952 [0.596, 1.505] mg/100g (wet weight);
