Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 23.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 108462); common length : 15.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9785)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral fins long, reaching to or beyond level of anus. Pelvic fins very long, reaching to or just beyond level of anus. A line drawn up from posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at about 2 to 6 scale rows before origin of dorsal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin slightly longer than lower, tipped with yellow. Females predominate at small sizes, males at larger sizes. Axillary scale present. Color: Upper body pinkish, silvery white below.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Occurs on mud or sand bottoms. Most abundant in depths of 20 to 50 m. Feeds mainly on small shrimps, squid, small fishes and benthic animals.
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve
Females predominate at small sizes and males at larger sizes as result of faster growth rates in males.
