Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits rocky shores. Usually solitary. Feeds mainly on filamentous Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta where it inhabits gentle slopes and on Cyanophyta and diatoms on steep slopes.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Mouth brooder with maternal parental care. Male defends territories throughout the depth range down to 6 m, but territorial densities are higher at 2-4 m depth. Brooding female also defends small territories around a cave between rock boulders at various water depths.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00674 - 0.03099), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
