Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 1 - 50 m (Ref. 5292), usually 2 - 30 m (Ref. 35388). Temperate; 5°C - 25°C (Ref. 132294); 64°N - 27°N, 32°W - 22°E
Eastern Atlantic: Norway to Morocco, including Madeira, the Azores and the Canary Islands. Doubtful reports from Mediterranean, Adriatic and Marmara seas (Ref. 4742), where it is often confused with Labrus merula.
Longueur à la première maturité / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 65.9 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 40637); common length : 50.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 4742); poids max. publié: 4.4 kg (Ref. 40637); âge max. reporté: 34 années (Ref. 131345)
Body rather massive. Mouth small with thick lips and large conical teeth. Coloration very variable, brownish and greenish predominating (Ref. 35388).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Adults are found in littoral (10-20 m) zone around rocks, offshore reefs, and seaweed. Young often in intertidal areas. All are born females and change sex when they are 4-14 years old (Ref. 35388). One (or more) female spawns in nest of algae, built by male in a crevice. Feed on crustaceans and mollusks (Ref. 4742). Oviparous (Ref. 205).
Eggs are laid in nest built from algae; male guards nest 1-2 weeks until larvae hatch (Ref. 35388); larvae are pelagic.
