everything about the chalapo clinid
who is the chalapo clinid
The yellowmouth moré belongs to the family Labrisomidae and reaches 36.9 cm, weighing up to 635 g. It is a bottom fish living in shallow water, down to 5 m, in the southeastern Pacific, from Peru to Chile, in subtropical waters. Like other labrisomids, it spends its life near the bottom, usually among rocks and algae. It is commercially fished in both countries. In Spanish it is called tomollo in Chile and trambollo in Peru, and one of the Peruvian names, trambollo boca amarilla, refers to the yellowish mouth.
Essential profile. Identification, where it occurs and rules, with data from FishBase and the cited regulations. Season, time of day, technique and bait are added once we have a good source for the chalapo clinid.
fun facts
- It is called tomollo in Chile and trambollo in Peru.
identification
Bottom fish with an elongated body, large head and long dorsal fin, traits of the family Labrisomidae. It lives in very shallow water, down to 5 m, close to the bottom. It reaches almost 37 cm and 635 g, and one of the Peruvian names, trambollo boca amarilla, suggests the yellowish mouth. It is seen more often near the coast than in open sea.
where found
Occurs in the southeastern Pacific, from Peru to Chile, in shallow subtropical waters close to shore.
Habitat: Shallow-water bottom, down to 5 m deep, close to shore.
rules for the chalapo clinid
Summary of the regulations we found, with the source for each. Rules change; before keeping or transporting fish, check with the state environmental agency.
We found no species-specific rule beyond the region's general rules.
catch and release
catch and release Releasing the fish alive, quickly and with a wet hand. During a closed season it isn't always allowed: what the regulation says applies.
It poses no danger to anglers. Bottom fish: handle it with wet hands and release it quickly.
how much it weighs without taking it out of the water
Length-weight relationship W = a·Lb (a = 0.00832, b = 3.14; FishBase (relação peso-comprimento bayesiana, estimativa da própria espécie)). It's an average: a fat or lean fish can vary by 10% to 20%.

where each number comes from
The weather comes from three independent global models, cross-checked hour by hour: when they agree, confidence goes up; when they diverge, the band between them shows on the chart. Beyond 16 days, we use the GEFS ensemble of 31 simulations: if 20 of the 31 predict rain, the chance of rain is 65%. Sun and moon are calculated astronomically, with no uncertainty.
The index adds up, weighted for each species: time of day (species curve anchored to real sunrise and sunset), moon (transits, rise and set, phase), pressure (3 h trend and 24 h swing), water temperature (in rivers, estimated from air temperature; at sea, estimated by an ocean model), wind, rain, clouds, tide and the month in the species' cycle.

how accurate the forecast is
Accuracy measured in the reference project (4 regions, 93 days, forecast vs. observed): maximum temperature is off by 0.6 °C on average the next day and 1.7 °C at 7 days; rain of 5 mm or more is detected 76% of the time the next day and 57% at 7 days. Detection isn't everything: the false alarm rate isn't published here yet, and 93 days in 4 regions is still a small sample. We now also measure every day, at the app's destinations:
