Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 79 - 94; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 63 - 75. In males, the 1st and 2nd rays of the pectoral fin become filamentous (Ref. 35237).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Predator which lives on the bottom where it hides partially or almost completely in the sand in order to disguise itself in the environment. Feeds on small fish and invertebrates. Exhibits sexual dimorphism (Ref. 35237). Marketed fresh (Ref. 5217).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproducción | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larva

Oviparous (Ref. 101737). Distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Females produce numerous eggs in multiple spawnings during a prolonged spawning period (Ref. 101737).
