Biology

provided by Fishbase
Common in lagoon and seaward reefs, primarily around islands. Under or near ledges by day (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Juvenile pelagic (Ref. 9335). Nocturnal (Ref. 5213), feeding mainly on octopi, pelagic shrimp, stomatopods, crabs, small fish, and polychaetes. Solitary (Ref. 5213). During the day usually occurs singly or in small groups but at dusk it may gather in large numbers (Ref. 37816). Known to produce sound. Marketed fresh (Ref. 3800).

利用

provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
一般利用底拖網、延繩釣等漁法捕獲。因資源豐富,故經濟價值高。肉質細嫩,剝皮油煎、碳烤、煮湯風味均不錯。亦常被展示於水族館。有報導因為食物鏈之故,發生體內累積熱帶魚毒,而引起食用者食物中毒的記錄。

Heteropriacanthus

provided by wikipedia EN

Heteropriacanthus, the glasseyes or glass bigeyes, are a genus of the bigeye family found in all tropical seas around the world. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 50.7 cm (20.0 in) in total length.[2][3][4]

The glasseyes has been classified in a single species, Heteropriacanthus cruentatus,[5] but recent morphological and genetic analysis indicates that glasseyes may be better divided into three species: Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (Atlantic Ocean and southwest Indian Ocean), H. fulgens (northeastern Atlantic), and H. carolinus (Indo-Pacific).[6] H.cruentatus can differentiated from the rest of its genus by looking at its caudal and anal fin in which is distinct in colour.[7]

Description

provided by World Register of Marine Species
Usually insular and not continental (Ref. 7300). Inhabits shallow coral reefs and rocky bottoms, primarily around islands. Common in both lagoon and seaward reef habitats. Juveniles are pelagic (Ref. 9335). Feeds mainly on small fishes (especially postlarvae), larger crustaceans and molluscs of the plankton. Solitary and nocturnal in habit (Ref. 5213). Generally in caves by day. Known to produce sound.
