Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 82 - 100; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 65 - 78; Vertèbres: 55 - 57. Dorsal and anal fins continuous with caudal fin (Ref. 36731). Right pectoral fin more than half of, but shorter than head length; left pectoral fin present (Ref. 36731). Brownish with small dark specks; sometimes with bars on body (Ref. 3200).
Larvae are pelagic (Ref. 27121, Ref. 36731), while adults live close to the sea bed (Ref. 36731). Adults feed on worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and fish (Ref. 27121, Ref. 36731). Utilized as a food fish (Ref. 4931).
