Life Cycle

由Fishbase提供
Mature individuals migrate shoreward to spawn and feed (Ref. 7002). Some immature Individuals with size ranging from 16.1 to 22.5 cm FL from this study are bisexual, however, this species is classified as a functional gonochore (Ref. 125700).

Trophic Strategy
(

由Fishbase提供
Occur inshore (Ref. 75154). One of the most abundant species of Parupeneus (Ref. 37816). Inhabit large sand patches as well as sand and rubble areas of reef flats, and lagoon and seaward reefs to a depth of about 100 m. Forage on sand-dwelling invertebrates like polychaete worms and crustaceans. Individuals from Palau and eastern Carolines often have a yellow band immediately above the broad black band extending behind the eye (Ref. 37816). Adults solitary or in small groups. Juveniles usually in small groups, often mixed with other species in sparse seagrass habitats (Ref. 48636).

漁期全年皆有，可利用流刺網、延繩釣等漁法捕獲，肉味鮮美，適宜紅燒或油煎。特殊之覓食行為，故常被水族館做展示用。可是本種魚曾有過體內累積熱帶魚毒，而引起食用者食物中毒的記錄，而且有毒魚無法與未累積毒性的魚由外觀區別，所以食用者請自求多福。急救時，在患者清醒下，以手觸喉頭迫使胃內容物吐出，並且保存殘渣供毒性檢定。

由wikipedia EN提供
The dash-and-dot goatfish (Parupeneus barberinus) is a species of goatfish native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Description
Red variation of dash-and-dot goatfish are found in deeper waters
The dash-and-dot goatfish has the twin chin barbels typical of goatfishes. The body color is white with a black to dark brown stripe (dash) reaching from the upper lip through the eye and along the body, followed by a black spot (dot) at the base of the caudal fin. Above the stripe, the body has a yellowish tint. Dash-and-dot goatfish from deeper water will usually have red stripes and spots. They can reach a maximum length of 60 cm, making them the largest of the family Mullidae.
Distribution and habitat
The dash-and-dot goatfish is considered one of the most abundant species of Parupeneus, and is found in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, the east coast of Africa, and the Gulf of Aden to Micronesia and southern Japan to Australia. It is found off reef flats and lagoons on sandy bottoms up to 100 m deep.
Diet
Dash-and-dot goatfish spend most of their time moving slowly over the bottom searching for prey with their barbels. Their diet includes worms, small crustaceans, and small fish.
