Eponymy: Derived from zaeus, an ancient Greek name for this fish dating back to Pliny’s Natural History. [...] There are many alternative names for this fish and almost as many theories as to the origin of the name. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Épines dorsales (Total) : 9 - 11; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 22 - 24; Épines anales: 4; Rayons mous anaux: 20 - 23. Gill rakers rudimentary. Minute scales present. Highly compressed body (Ref. 4253). Large dark spot, surrounded by a light ring on each side of the body (Ref. 35388).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.

Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Found in areas close to the sea bed (Ref. 6390). Generally solitary. Feeds mainly on schooling bony fishes, occasionally on cephalopods and crustaceans (Ref. 27121). Reproduction takes place at the end of winter and at the start of spring in the northeastern Atlantic, earlier in the Mediterranean. Eggs are pelagic, maturity reached at 4 years (Ref. 36731). Sold fresh (Ref. 9563) and frozen (Ref. 9988). Can be steamed, fried, broiled, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). The flesh is excellent but is utilized little in West Africa (Ref. 5377).
