Description
Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spine: 1; Anal soft rays: 7; Pectoral fin rays: 15-17 (usually: 16). Gill rakers 6-7 + 22-26 (total: 28-33). Body depth 3.25-3.8 in SL (body deeper with growth); Head length: 2.85-3.1 in SL; Snout length: 1.6-1.8 in HL; Eye small, the orbit diameter: 5.3-8.95 in HL (Standard long: 118-392 mm); Barbels very long: 1.15 in HL to longer than head; Longest dorsal spine: 1.5-1.7 in HL; Penultimate dorsal ray: 1.1-1.2 in length of last dorsal ray; Pectoral fin length: 1.5-1.7 in HL; Pelvic fin length: 1.35-1.55 in HL. Max. length: 50.0 cm TL, common length: 35.0 cm TL. Max. published weight: 2.3 kg. Depth range: 5 - 125 m.
Color
Body of large adults yellowish grey (may be largely pink when taken in deeper water), edges of scales bright blue except ventrally, and edges more broadly blue posteriorly; Region around eyes yellow, with short radiating narrow blue lines; Second dorsal fin and anal fin with oblique narrow blue bands; Large, hemispherical, saddle-like yellowish blotch covering upper half of peduncle; Caudal fin with longitudinal blue bands. Juveniles and females entirely yellow, and saddle spot on peduncle sometimes brighter yellow than rest of body.
Etymology
Parupeneus: from Latin prefixe, par = even (of a numbers), equal, like, suitable + the word, upeneus or upénéus. Georges Cuvier and Achille Valenciennes wrote in "Histoire Naturelle des poissons - 1829 - Tome troisième p447" that they chosed this word "upénéus" which it didn't have a specific meaning or sense in the ancient writes.
cyclostomus: from Latin, cyclus = a circle, a cycle, recurring period, a branding implement + from Ancient Greek, stóma = mouth. Referring to open mouth forming a “very large portion of a circle”.
Original description: Mullus cyclostomus Lacepède, 1801 - Type locality: Mauritius, Mascarenes, southwestern Indian Ocean.
Distribution
Red Sea; Indo-West Pacific: KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), East Africa, Persian Gulf, Socotra (Yemen), Madagascar and Mascarenes (La Réunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues), east to Hawaiian Islands (U.S.A.), Line Islands (Kiribati) and Pitcairn Group, north to southern Japan, south to Rottnest Island (Western Australia), central New South Wales (Australia), New Caledonia and Rapa (French Polynesia).
Biology
Found on coral, rocky, or rubble bottoms of reef flats, lagoons, and seaward reefs. Benthopelagic. Juveniles form schools, adults usually solitary. Feed primarily on small fishes, crustaceans, peanut worms, shrimps, crabs, octopi, and small gastropods during the day.
