| Species | Latris lineata |
| Common Name | Striped Trumpeter |
| Importance | Key |
| Habitat | Exposed reefs and rocky bottom |
| Depth | ≤ 300 m (Edgar, 2008; Gomon et al., 2008) |
| Distribution | Sydney (New South Wales) to Albany (Western Australia), Tasmania, New Zealand, Amsterdam Islands (southern Indian Ocean) and most of temperate southern hemisphere (excluding South Africa and South America) (Edgar, 2008; Gomon et al., 2008) |
| Diet | Small fish, cephalopods, crustaceans (Nichols et al., 1994) |
| Stock Structure | Uniform stock structure in Tasmanian waters (no significant genetic separation of populations) |
| Movement | Juvenils have limited movement, remaining around shallow reefs for several years before moving into deeper waters on offshore reefs; adults have the capacity to undergo wide-scale movements (Tasmania to St Paul Island, Indian Ocean) (Tracey and Lyle, 2005; Lyle and Jordan, 1999; Tracey et al., 2007a) |
| M (Natural Mortality) | 0.096 (Tracey and Lyle, 2005) |
| Maximum Age (years) | 43 (Tracey and Lyle, 2005) |
| Maximum Length (total length; cm) | 1200 (Gomon et al., 2008) |
| Maximum Weight (g) | 2500 (Gomon et al., 2008) |
| Unsexed K (von Bertalanffy growth parameter) | 0.08 |
| Juvenile K (von Bertalanffy growth parameter) | 0.43 |
| Unsexed t0 (age (years) when length = 0) | 3.49 |
| Juvenile t0 (age (years) when length = 0) | 0.03 |
| t^δ (age (years) of transference from one growth phase to the next) | 4.4 |
| Unsexed L∞ (asymptotic von Bertalanffy length (fork length; cm)) | 87.16 |
| Juvenile L∞ (asymptotic von Bertalanffy length (fork length; cm)) | 53.28 |
| L^δ (length of transference from one growth phase to the next; fork length; cm) | 45.01 |
| Growth Rate (non-von Bertalanffy) | Rapid juvenile growth (mean fork length (FL) = 28 cm after 2 years, 42 cm after 4 yars) and slower adult growth (large rang of size-at -age over 50 cm FL); growth for both sexes described by a two-phase von Bertalanffy growth function |
| Length (FL; fork length (mm)) – Weight (W; g) Relationship | W=2E^(-5) L^3.00 (Murphy and Lyle, 1999; Tracey and Lyle, 2005) |
| Size at Maturity (length (fork length; cm) at which 50% of population are sexually mature) | 54 (62 cm total length for females), 53 (61 cm total length for males) |
| Age at Maturity (age (years) at which 50% of population are sexually mature) | 6.8 (females), 6.2 (males) (Tracey et al., 2007a) |
| Spawning Season | July – early October depending on geographic location (early start and finish at lower latitudes) |
| Other Spawning Information | Multiple spawners, highly fecund (100 000 to 400 000 eggs for females weighing 3.2 and 5.2 kg respectively); small pelagic eggs (Ruwald, 1991; Ruwald et al., 1991; Murphy and Lyle, 1999) |
| Batch Fecundity (F; number of eggs) to Fork Length (FL; mm) | F = 4.15^(-8) FL^4.69 (Tracey et al., 2007a) |
| Egg Size | 1.3 mm diameter (Ruwald, 1991; Ruwald et al., 1991; Murphy and Lyle, 1999) |
| Recruitment | Highly variable; no stock-recruitment relationship established (Murphy and Lyle, 1999) |
| Early Life History | Complex with extended larval phase of at least 9 months; no information on size and timing of settlement; juveniles around 18 cm fork length (23 cm total length) have been caught on shallow reefs of southeast coast in January (Ruwald, 1991; Ruwald et al., 1991; Murphy and Lyle, 1999) |
