Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 8. Very slender build: head length longer than body depth; body depth more than 4 times in standard length; ventral fin length more than 1.8 times in head length; eye diameter more than 2 times in snout length, more than 1.8 times in interorbital width; greenish or greenish grey.
Occurs mostly over rocky substrates in relatively shallow water (less than 6 m). It is a real piscivore, with almost 100% of its food consisting of fish (Ref. 35835).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00427 (0.00195 - 0.00935), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
