Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 65 - 69. Compared with A. glossodonta, argentea have a larger mouth, upper jaw 2.6-2.9 in HL, more pointed lower jaw, and no blackish spot on the underside of the tip of the snout (Ref. 26145).
Seldom found on coral reefs, occasionally in sheltered, shallow lagoons (Ref. 90102).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Spawning occurs in open waters. Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 205).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5007 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00557 - 0.03419), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100) .
