Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 14; Espinas anales: 2 - 3; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 12. Golden olive in color, darker above, with faint dusky lines along body; fins yellowish (Ref. 5492).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Occurs over shallow muddy and sandy bottoms of the continental shelf), mainly near estuaries and sometimes entering rivers (Ref. 57343). Feeds mainly on small benthic crustaceans, especially prawns and crabs, and small fishes. Percentage of fishes eaten increases with size. Utilized fresh, dried or salted and frozen; eaten steamed, pan-fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9987).
