Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
This species is distinguished by the following characters: protrusible mouth; lateral line scales not more than 73; head length is equal or greater than body depth; colouration clear yellowish or gray-brownish and a brownish spot at the base of the pectoral fin; color varies with age, sex and season (Ref. 124120).
Cross section: compressed.
Ocuurs on sand or muddy bottoms, down to about 130 m. This species is a demersal schooling fish, with eggs and larvae plaktonic (Ref. 124120). Morphometrics analysis showed that the populations are structured along the Turkish coast (Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea, and Northeastearn Maditerranean Sea) (Ref. 130824).
