the yellow-chevroned parakeet ( brotogeris chiriri ) , is native to tropical south america south of the amazon river basin from central brazil to southern bolivia , paraguay and northern argentina .

caged birds have been released in some areas and the birds have established self-sustaining populations in the los angeles , san francisco , california and miami , florida areas of the united states .

this bird seems to be doing better in its north american feral population than its closely related cousin , the white-winged parakeet .

the species is also fairily established in the downtown area of rio de janeiro , brazil , where it was introduced .

the native population in south america continues to do well .

yellow - chevroned parakeet

the yellow - chevroned parakeet is an arboreal termite nest breeder . the termite nest is called a
canary - winged are also known as yellow - chevroned parakeet , bee bee or pocket parrot .
the yellow - chevroned parakeet was first described in 1818 by louis jean pierre vieillot , a french ornithologist .
the canary - winged parakeet used to be considered one species , but they are actually two species , the white - winged parakeet ( brotogeris versicoluris ) and the yellow - chevroned parakeet ( brotogeris chiriri ) . pictured is the yellow - chevroned parakeet . both make great pets !

recently , canary - winged parakeets were separated into two species : the white - winged parakeet ( brotogeris versicoluris ) and the yellow - chevroned parakeet ( brotogeris chiriri ) .
they look like the nominate species ( yellow - chevroned parakeet ) featured above , except they are slightly larger in size and lack the yellow tinge to the green body color .
other physical differences include the plumage color , which is much brighter yellow - green in the yellow - chevroned parakeet , while the white wing is a darker , more forest green . the white - winged parakeet has a larger bare facial pattern than the yellow chevron . the underside of the tail of the white - winged parakeet is strongly washed in blue , and the nominate yellow - chevroned parakeet is green ( one subspecies of yellow chevron , however , has a blue wash on the tail , although not as strong a blue as the white wing ) . finally , the yellow - chevroned parakeet has a darker pink beak than that of the white - winged parakeet .
until 1997 , some taxonomists considered the white or canary - winged parakeet and the yellow - chevroned parakeet ( brotogeris chiriri ) to be conspecific ( of , or belonging to , the same species ) . even though the yellow - chevroned parakeet ( brotogeris chiriri ) has the same yellow secondary covert feathers that can be seen in the canary - winged parakeet - it lacks white on the primary feathers of the wing .

also known as : canary - winged parakeet , behn ' s parakeet ( b . c . behni )
a yellow - chevroned parakeet prefers to sleep in a comfortable place where they can feel snug and cozy , so keep a snuggle hut or hanging bed in the cage .
the yellow - chevroned parakeet , formerly a subspecies of the canary - winged parakeet ( see systematics ) , is native to south america . starting in 1977 , large numbers of yellow - chevroned parakeets were imported to the united states to meet the demand that followed a halt in importation of the white - winged parakeet in the early 1970s . their popularity as pets led to importation of more than 74 , 000 yellow - chevroned parakeets between 1977 and 1990 , and the subsequent establishment of feral populations in california and florida .

the status and population trends of the yellow - chevroned parakeet are difficult to determine as there are limited survey data for introduced populations . for example , coverage of exotic species on christmas bird counts has been irregular and there has been a tendency for u . s . observers to report both white - winged and yellow - chevroned parakeets as “canary - winged parakeet . ” nonetheless , introduced populations of the yellow - chevroned parakeet in florida appear to be stable , or possibly increasing slightly . however , in california , their numbers have recently decreased dramatically (
the yellow - chevroned parakeet is a medium sized green parakeet with yellowish underparts and yellow outer secondary wing coverts . it inhabits open woodland and gallery forest throughout central south america . formerly it was treated as conspecific with the white - winged parakeet ( brotogeris versicolurus ) of the amazon basin ; the combined species was called canary - winged parakeet . although this species is abundant throughout most of its range , little is known about the bird ' s food and feeding habits . some seasonal movements have been observed in yellow - chevroned parakeets , especially within their range in western paraguay .
white - winged parakeets look very much like yellow - chevroned ones , but has a white patch on their wings that ' s only visible during flight . note that both white - winged and yellow - chevroned parakeets are sometimes erroneously refered to as
canary winged parakeets .
here is an interesting article on yellow - chevroned and canary - winged parakeets by donald brightsmith from the may 2000 issue of bird talk magazine .

this bird was considered as a conspecific with the white - winged parakeet , and together they were called canary - winged parakeets until 1997 . now , the canary - winged parakeet is another name of the white - winged parakeet .
in pet stores , the yellow - chevroned parakeets ( b . chirir ) are frequently sold as canary - winged parakeets ( b . versicolurus ) and visa versa .
the yellow - chevroned parakeet is a poorly studied species , although in the past 15 years there has been new research in their native range . nonetheless , most information about their basic biology is anecdotal . in the united states , introduced populations of yellow - chevroned parakeets have been the subject of very few scientific investigations , and those studies have largely focused on analysis of population trends and little to no field observation . there is still much to be learned about their basic biology in both native and introduced ranges , including nesting habits , habitat preferences , and demography . further , since the yellow - chevroned parakeet is considered an agricultural pest in its native range (

confusion of these two species constitutes a serious problem . for example , the book
parrots : a guide to parrot identification
( juniper and parr 1998 ) mixes characteristics of both species in their illustrations . in addition , the aviculturists in the united states commonly use the name canary - winged parakeet for b . chiriri ( yellow - chevroned parakeet ) and white - winged parakeet for b . versicolurus - which adds to the confusion .
the plumage is mostly bright green ; the underparts are a paler green and the underwing coverts are yellow - green . the wings are a slightly darker green and have a trailing yellow edge on its folded wings that is also seen when this parakeet is in flight .
yellow - chevroned parakeets , endemic to tropical south america , are beebees or pocket parrots with a stable growth in their feral population in north america . these small birds are not sexually dimorphic .

note : this article was written when the canary - winged parakeet was considered one species .
this parakeet thrives well in a moderate room temperature that should not drop down to 50°f .
the yellow - chevroned parakeet has an expansive range reaching up to generally 3 . 4 million square kilometers . this bird can be found in argentina , bolivia , brazil and paraguay . this bird appears in forested areas of subtropical and tropical locales as well as savanna and grasslands as well as many areas of degraded or former forests also . the global population of this species has not been quantified , but it is referred to as “common” in portions of its range . due to this , population trends for the yellow - chevroned parakeet have a present evaluation level of least concern .
the yellow - chevroned parakeets ( brotogeris chiriri ) are native to tropical south america - south of the amazon river basin from eastern and southern brazil to southern bolivia , paraguay and north - western argentina .
yellow - chevroned parakeet : south american native imported to north america in 1970’s for the pet trade ; released and escaped birds established populations in florida and california , which are now in decline ; several hundred birds remain in florida , while the california population appears more stable . preferred habitats include forests and urban parks .

is mostly light green in color . it has a trailing yellow edge on its folded wings and is also seen when the bird is in flight . it is closely related to the white - winged parakeet .
according to lexicon of parrots by thomas arnt , both birds are similar in appearance , but the yellow chevron lacks the white patch on the secondary and inner primaries that is found on the white - winged parakeet .
it is closely related to the canary - winged parakeet . in fact , it was considered conspecific until 1997 .
the number of b . chiriri recorded monthly from the 18 points was taken as a monthly index of parakeet abundance . to evaluate the relationship between parakeet abundance and food resource production , the spearman correlation was used , with monthly indexes of both resource and parakeet abundance taken as variables . the relationship between parakeet abundance and foraging activity , as well as the relationship between resource availability and foraging activity was also evaluated through correlation analysis . the monthly percentage of feeding records was taken as an index of foraging activity and correlated ( spearman correlation ) both with resource and parakeet abundance .
the wings are green with yellow bar ; underwing coverts are yellow - green . buff bill . pink - gray legs and feet . feeds on seeds , fruit in native habitat , feral populations have adapted to take in blossoms and nectar .
because of this confusion , it was suggested that the name of the canary - winged parakeet be changed to white - winged parakeet - for the obvious reason that the white wing patches are unique in the genus and outstanding among parrots in general .
yellow - chevroned parakeets are loved and appreciated for their endearing attributes and playfulness . although they are not as common pet choices as other parrots are , still if you wish to have a tiny docile sweetheart as your companion , this is the one you are looking for . it is always advisable to keep a single parakeet as your pet because a pair might not be easy to tame .
fresh fruits , vegetables , sunflower seeds and commercially available pellet mix are good for these parakeets . you can give it a treat of monkey biscuits once in a while . as is the case with any other parrots , chocolate and avocado are toxic for yellow - chevroned parakeets .

yellow - chevroned parakeets such as this one feed primarily on fruits and seeds . after selecting the ripest fruit , parakeets use their feet to perch on one foot while using the other to clean the fruit from the pit . once finished , the birds often use branches to wipe excess food off their bills .

fifty - four species of parrots and parakeets in fifteen genera have been recorded in north america ( including two extinct species , the carolina parakeet and cuban macaw ) .
in their natural habitat , yellow - chevroned parakeets usually nest in tree cavities or arboreal termite nests . they will also form nesting tunnels in dead palm fronds . once a nest has been located and properly
prepared
by the pair , the hen lays 4 to 5 eggs . after raising its young , these parakeets form large communal roosts until the next breeding season .

lories , parakeets , macaws and parrots are colorful birds with predominately green plumage . red and yellow patches are often found on the heads , wings , and tails , while some species also have blue or gray coloration .
the only two naturally occurring members of this family found north of mexico were the carolina parakeet and the thick - billed parrot . despite an astonishingly large population , the parakeet went extinct due to over - hunting and the parrot was extirpated in north america in the early twentieth century because of both hunting and habitat loss . despite reintroduction efforts , the thick - billed parrot hasn’t been able to reestablish itself in arizona , and mexican populations of this species remain threatened by habitat loss .

in the united states , this species feeds on a variety of fruits , seeds , buds , and flowers , relying heavily on exotic plantings of figs and other tropical species . yellow - chevroned parakeets excavate nest cavities in palm trees in the u . s . , while in their native range , they are known to nest in tree cavities and arboreal nests of termites ( isoptera ) . these parakeets are highly social ; they feed , roost , and travel in groups , and pairs remain together almost continuously .
yellow - chevroned parakeets such as this one feed primarily on fruits and seeds . after selecting the ripest fruit , parakeets use their highly skilled feet to perch on one foot while using the other to clean the fruit from the pit . once finished , the birds often use branches to wipe excess food off their bills . this video accompanies chapter 8 , avian food and foraging , handbook of bird biology 3rd edition , from the cornell lab of ornithology and wiley publishing . urltoken tom johnson / cornell lab of ornithology / macaulay library / 475733

in its native south america it is found more frequently in open woodlands , savannas , and may prefer disturbed savannas and towns . in the u . s . it prefers open habitat , towns and will commonly be found alongside the similar white - winged parakeet , even nesting in the same tree .
it is closely related to the canary - winged parakeet . in fact , it was considered conspecific ( of , or belonging to , the same species ) until 1997 . ( please refer to the physical differences as featured on the image to the right - also below is some information about the species controversy . )
easily tamable , this intelligent bird has an inquisitive mind and a propensity for tricks . it often likes to play dead by lying on its back . it also bonds well with its master and craves for a constant companionship from him with an urge of being cuddled . this parakeet is sometimes capable of imitating words and will entertain you by sweetly repeating them .
lories , parakeets , macaws and parrots are known for their distinctive bill shape , intelligence , and popularity as pets . the yellow - headed parrot is especially popular in this regard as it readily learns to repeat human speech . unfortunately , this trait has made it such a popular cage bird that wild populations have become highly endangered because of capture for the pet trade .
numbers appear to be increasing in the san gabriel valley , the san fernando valley , and the los angeles basin . this parakeet tends to be associated with cultivated date palms and silk floss trees ( chorisia speciosa ) . i anticipate these to continue to increase , as they are not exploiting all of the available suitable habitat . also , the trees that this species are associated with have been used extensively in recently built strip mall parking lots and housing subdivisions , and the trees have not reached maturity . (
according to leslie gillis , owner of secret garden aviaries in california , “when the imports ceased , there were not many birds in the hands of breeders , and some were mixed with other brotogeris . ” gillis said that there are now more people working with the canary - winged parakeet . “i did not find them difficult to breed , and they have proven to be wonderful parents . if people are lucky enough to find one in the pet trade , i would tell them not to hesitate in buying it … they are delightful , lively birds . ”
this study points out the effect of massive food resources on the dynamic of an abundant parakeet in the south pantanal . the results suggest a population movement within a vegetation mosaic towards abundant and ephemeral resources produced in a gallery forest . it also indicates some resources , such as inga vera nectar , as being important food items for b . chiriri during harsh periods . further long - term , and multi - habitat studies in the highly seasonal pantanal will improve our knowledge of the effect of flower and fruit seasonality on parrot populations , which wander over large and diverse areas that include asynchronous patches of resources .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

their preferred habitats include forests and urban parks . they usually travel in flocks ; in groups as small as 2 to 4 - but as many as 20 have been observed .
from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s , more than 260 , 000 of these parakeets were imported from south america for the pet trade . at that time , this was the most commonly imported parrot .
the species is also fairly established in the downtown area of rio de janeiro , brazil , where it was also introduced .
these parakeets are 8 - 9 inches long ( 20 - 25cm ) and weigh around 2 . 5 oz ( 72 g ) . they are slightly bigger than its cousin , the greycheek , and a little larger than the popular lovebird .
males and females are not sexually dimorphic and must be sexed either surgically or by dna .
their hook - shaped beaks are orange - brown and the legs and feet are pink - grey . they have creamy - white eye rings and dark brown eyes .
look like adults but have shorter tails and the bills are a darker brown .
they make friendly and tame pets ; although they can be jealously towards other pets . they are not known for their talking ability , but can mimic some words and sounds . they are considered medium - noisy .
they like sleeping in a hanging bed or snuggle hut that are available in pet stores . however , you could simply drape a towel over an upper perch , or you could attach the towel on the top of the cage , allowing it to hang down over a perch , for your pet to climb under .
minerals and grit : they are often seen visiting barreiros ( areas where mineral - rich soil is readily available ) and river banks to feed on soil .
in flight , they make loud , high - pitched , metallic chattering calls in rapid succession - somewhat sounding like the second half of their scientific name :
chiriri
. they may also make abrupt , loud squawks when taking flight and emit low , chattering notes while feeding .

a group of parakeets is collectively known as a
chatter
and a
flock
of parakeets .
the taxonomic order psittaciformes ( pronounced sit - uh - suh - form - eez ) is composed of three families ; the cockatoos , new zealand parrots such as the kea , and parakeets and parrots .
the psittacidae ( pronounced sit - uh - suh - dee ) , a family of nearly worldwide occurrence , includes three hundred and forty - eight species of parrots and parakeets in seventy - seven genera .
lories , parakeets , macaws and parrots are medium to large in size while parakeets are generally smaller . although all share a short , sharply decurved bills , and have fairly short legs with strong “zygodactyl” toes ( two facing forward and two facing backward ) , the overall shape of these birds differs considerably among groups . for example , the macaws and parakeets sport long , pointed tails and wings , while most of the parrots have square - shaped , short or medium length tails and fairly broad wings .
in the united states and canada , most members of this family occur as populations that escaped from captivity . most of these persist in cities with mild climates and fruiting plants ( many of which are also introduced species ) that provide them with food . wild parrots and parakeets from mexico may be found in populations of red - crowned and green parakeets in southern texas , and occasional vagrant thick - billed parrots in the pine forests of southern arizona and new mexico .
in north america , lories , parakeets , macaws and parrots are non - migratory .
lories , parakeets , macaws and parrots are highly social birds typically occurring in flocks . they form strong pair bonds with individual pairs often discernible even when associating with other birds . members of this family use their strong bills to crack open seeds and feed on fruits . when searching for fruiting and seeding trees , parrots and parakeets fly high overhead , giving frequent screeching vocalizations . upon flying into a tree , though , they go quiet and seem to “disappear” as their green plumage blends in with the foliage .
several members of this family are endangered in various parts of the world due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade . the red - crowned parrot falls into this category ; although not threatened in texas , it is highly endangered in mexico .

a pair of mates regurgitating into each other ' s mouths ! ! this is how birds say
i love you !
feb 2004 .
three parakeets eating in the tall , blossoming pink cedar tree in the botanical garden , photo taken from east side of hilgard ave . feb 9 , 2006 .
sound : loud , high - pitched , metallic chattering noises in rapid succession . ( i think it sounds like the second half of their scientific name :
chiriri
) no recording yet , but i hope to have one soon , with the help of alex kirschel .
location : silk floss trees . these are the trees with the spikes on their trunks , bright green leaves , and pod - like things hanging off of them . there are three places on and around campus where i know we have these trees :
at the top of the stairs that lead down to the fowler museum from royce hall . these stair parallel the jann steps .
there used to be a large silk floss tree next to campbell hall , but it was recently torn down ( spring 2005 ) .
the parakeets apparently depend on these trees for food , so they hang around the botanical gardens of l . a . where these trees are planted . every time you go bye one of these trees , take a close look . the parakeets are almost the exact same color as the leaves , so they blend in well and can go unnoticed if they don ' t happen to be making noise at the time . also look for bits of cottoney - looking stuff floating down from the tree . that ' s a dead giveaway that the parakeets are there , because they dig into the pods with their beaks and pull out the cotton - like stuff .
i ' ve also noticed that these birds like to roost ( sit ) way high up in a tall tree in the ucla botanical garden , which i ' ved learned is a pink cedar tree .
the parakeets only hang out in silk floss trees when they are bearing fruit to eat ! i ' m not sure when the trees start bearing fruit ( it may be as early as sometime in fall as i ' m seeing flowers on them in september ) , but they can continue to bear fruit into late spring .
notes : a . k . a
squeakin ' greenies !
these birds were one of the most delightful surprises for me as i was learning what birds we have around ucla . i first discovered them when i heard unfamiliar bird noises coming from a tree next to the janns steps . it sounded like a pet shop kind of bird , and then i saw a small green parrot - looking guy in the tree ! i was at first dismayed because i though someone ' s pet bird had escaped , but then i saw the rest of the flock and figured out that these were in fact feral birds ! they must have been established from escaped or released birds that were intended for pets . they have adapted to l . a . well enough to persist .
they travel in flocks always . i ' ve seen them in groups as small as 2 - 4 and as large as 20 . they are lively and clever little birds and their antics can be very entertaining to watch .
once you know their voice , you ' ll likely hear them flying high overhead . i hear them flying over the math science quad from tiem to time . often they fligh so high that you can ' t see them , but sometimes i can spot them .
there are a few other species of parakeets and parrots that are established in l . a . see the california parrot project .
historical : these guys certainly weren ' t around when dr . loye miller wrote
birds of the campus
in 1947 . the feral population of this species probably began in the 1970s , when large numbers of the birds started to be imported from their native south america to be sold as pets . initial populations were probably established from birds that escaped , either from the crates they were imported in ( which were opened for inspection upon arrival ) , or from owners . a feral population exists in miami , florida also .
another good reference : western birds , volume 28 , number 4 , 1997 - the entire issue is devoted to naturalized parrots in southern california . it ' s not available online , but can be ordered for pretty cheap here .
this little parrot may be hard to find , but it ? worth the wait .
canary - winged parakeets ( brotogeris versicoluris ) , members of the genus brotogeris , are small , south american parakeets . their engaging personalities and gentle temperament made them much sought - after pets during the 1970s and ’80s , when they were imported by the tens of thousands . no longer imported due to the 1992 wild bird conservation act , canary - winged parakeets are now domestically raised . hand - raised babies are truly a joy to own . their owners often describe them as affectionate , intelligent , playful and bold little parakeets .
active , inquisitive and outgoing , canary - winged parakeets seem to enjoy spending time with their owners and can be affectionate with all members of the family . “i have two canary wing girls that have been with me for five years now , ” said david from new york . “they are wonderful companion birds . they will give you as much affection and attention as you give them , so if you’re looking for a bird to do everything with you , you’ve found the one . ”
they can learn a variety of tricks , and some even learn to imitate human speech . canary - winged parakeets can be social with other brotogeris species as long as patience and care is used when introducing the birds . they do not lose their bonding with their human owners if they receive daily one - on - one attention .
canary - winged parakeets , like other brotogeris , produce a loud , shrill call . single pet canary wings make less noise than several birds . with lots of appropriate attention from their owners and large , roomy cages , interesting toys and a healthy , nutritious diet , canary wings don’t engage as much in constant , loud calls .
canary - winged parakeets fed a wide variety of foods during weaning usually become good eaters . they do best on a good basic diet of seed or pellet mixture for cockatiels or small parrots . feed them fresh foods such as fruits , vegetables , greens , grains and legumes on a daily basis . offer greens such as chard , spinach and bok choy , as well as sprouted seeds , nuts ( not too much ) and whole - grain breads . if your bird is molting , provide protein foods such as cooked egg , bits of cheese and cooked chicken .
keep canary - winged parakeets in cockatiel or small parrot sized cages of at least 24 by 24 inches . the bigger the better for these active little guys ! make sure bars are spaced 3⁄4 inches or less . choose perches with 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inches diameters and natural wood branches that offer a variety of perching sizes . make sure to only use safe wood untreated with chemicals or pesticides ; wash it well and zap it in the microwave for a few seconds before use . a canary wing will also appreciate a playgym on the top of the cage to keep it busy . canary - winged parakeets love bathing , so provide them with a daily bowl of clean water to splash and get soaked in .
with their almost boundless energy , canary - winged parakeets enjoy a huge variety of toys , including those designed for much bigger birds . owners need to take care to provide only the highest quality , well - made toys because their strong beaks easily destroy flimsy or poorly made bird toys . check toys regularly to make sure there are no broken pieces or sharp edges , and rotate them to prevent your canary wing from getting bored .
if you flip through the classified pages of bird talk , you’ll find a lot of bird breeders specializing in a range of bird species . you won’t , however , find too many who breed brotogeris parakeets . this once common pet bird seems to have gone missing . what happened ?
gloria balaban , owner of shady pines aviary in florida and co - founder of the brotogeris society international , traces the canary - winged parakeets’ scarce showing in the pet market back to when the species was first being imported into the united states . “canary - wings were so plentiful and inexpensive that many breeders didn’t concentrate on setting them up [ for breeding ] . many of the birds coming in went straight to the pet trade instead of to breeders . ” she added that when the wild bird conservation act of 1992 stopped the importation of birds , breeders had to rely on the birds that were already here , essentially trying to convert pet birds into breeders .


pronotogrammus is a genus of colourful fishes in the subfamily anthiadinae .

they are found at reefs at depths of 40 – 325 m ( 131 – 1,066 ft ) in the tropical and subtropical east pacific and west atlantic .

they are red , pink and yellow , and reach 18 – 26 cm ( 7.1 – 10.2 in ) in length depending on the species involved .

pronotogrammus

known data sets that contain ( pronotogrammus martinicensis ) . this may include sibling taxa data sources .
common names : bass ( english ) , serrano ( espanol ) , doncella ( espanol ) pronotogrammus eos gilbert , 1890 bigeye bass body an elongate oval , narrowing to tail base ; upper and lower head profiles convex ; very large eye ( diameter = 12 - 16 % of sl ) ; mouth moderately oblique , lower jaw projecting , top jaw bone without additional bone above ; a patch of granular teeth on tongue ; preoperculum finely serrated on rear and lower edges ; 11 - 13 long rakers on upper limb of first gill arch ; dorsal fin x ( 4th - 9th ~ equal and longer than 3rd ) , 14 - 15 ; anal iii , 8 ; pectoral 17 - 19 , long , reaches past origin of anal fin ; tail deeply forked , with sharp tips ; 36 - 40 lateral scales ; two rows of large scales between base of dorsal fin and lateral line ; head and jaws fully scaled . head and body silvery pink , darker above ; a yellow bar on rear edge of operculum ; a series of vertically elongate yellowish blotches from top corner of operculum along upper flank and on upper half of tail base , size of those blotches decreasing rearwards ; fins pinkish , with small yellowish spots on upper tail lobe and on soft dorsal . size : to 21 cm . habitat : probably aggregates over rock , sand and shell bottoms . depth : 80 - 325 m . sw and eastern middle gulf of california to panama , and cocos .
the inaccessibility of outer continental shelf reefs has made it difficult to investigate the biology of pronotogrammus martinicensis , a small sea bass known to be numerous and widely distributed in such habitat . this study takes advantage of a series of cruises in the northeastern gulf of mexico that collected 1 , 485 individuals . fish were collected over or in the vicinity of reef habitats with hook and line , otter trawl , and rotenone . we present a preliminary validation of an otolith ageing method and report that p . martinicensis reached a maximum size of 143 mm standard length ( sl ) , grew to about 50 % of this size within their first year , and lived to a maximum age of 15 yr . size at age data ( n = 490 ) fitted to the von bertalanffy growth model yielded the predictive equation : slt = 106 . 3 ( 1 2 e [ 20 . 641 { t20 . 646 } ] ) , where t = age in years . gonad histology ( n = 333 ) was examined to confirm that p . martinicensis is a protogynous , monandric hermaphrodite . we found no evidence of simultaneous hermaphroditism , which had been tentatively proposed in a previous study . most p . martinicensis matured as females in their second year ( age 1 ) , primary oocytes developed asynchronously into secondary oocytes , and females were batch spawners . males were postmaturational . seminiferous tissue formed as early as age 1 , but , although the rate of sex change is unknown , most fish did not function as a male until age 3 or age 4 . these data provide age - based benchmarks of a common reef fish species living on the outer continental shelf of the tropical western north atlantic ocean .

this widely distributed species can be common and locally abundant where it occurs over rocky reefs on the shelf edge .
there are no known major threats , therefore , it is listed as least concern .
is distributed in the western atlantic from north carolina south along the u . s . , bermuda , the bahamas , throughout the gulf of mexico , in the caribbean sea from cuba to tobago , and along central and south america from mexico to southern brazil ( r . robertson pers . comm . 2014 ) . its depth range is 35 - 900 m ( anderson and heemstra 2012 ) . a shallow water variation of this species has been described off southeastern brazil ( carvalho - filho
anguilla ; antigua and barbuda ; aruba ; bahamas ; barbados ; belize ; bermuda ; bonaire , sint eustatius and saba ; brazil ; cayman islands ; colombia ; costa rica ; cuba ; curaçao ; dominica ; dominican republic ; french guiana ; grenada ; guadeloupe ; guatemala ; guyana ; haiti ; honduras ; jamaica ; martinique ; mexico ; montserrat ; nicaragua ; panama ; puerto rico ; saint barthélemy ; saint kitts and nevis ; saint lucia ; saint martin ( french part ) ; saint vincent and the grenadines ; sint maarten ( dutch part ) ; suriname ; trinidad and tobago ; turks and caicos islands ; united states ; venezuela , bolivarian republic of ; virgin islands , british ; virgin islands , u . s .
this species is locally abundant and common . off jamaica and belize , it is most abundant between 80 - 90 m depth ( colin 1974 ) . it is not common off mexico in the gulf of mexico ( m . vega - cendejas pers . comm . 2013 ) .
this species occurs over high profile rock formations , continental shelf edge reefs , and on steep slopes in insular regions . it is usually found near the bottom around soft corals and in association with
. its depth range is 35 - 900 m ( anderson and heemstra 2012 ) . its maximum length is about 17 cm sl , but is most commonly to 10 cm sl . it is a protogynous hermaphrodite and feeds on crustaceans , ostracods , copepods and pteropods ( heemstra
2002 ) . females range from 4 . 65 to 11 . 2 cm and males range from 6 . 6 to 13 . 2 cm . transitional individuals range from 7 . 3 to 9 . 4 cm and immature females ranged from 4 . 65 to 7 . 2 cm ( coleman 1981 ) .
this species occasionally occurs in the florida aquarium trade ( g . gilmore pers . comm . 2012 ) .
there are no known major threats . it is potentially a prey item of the invasive lionfish , however , only juveniles are consumed and it is not likely that this will drive significant population declines on a global level ( l . rocha pers . comm . 2014 ) .
