Max length : 120 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5484); common length : 50.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9821); âge max. reporté: 20 années (Ref. 82366)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 11; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Interorbital space flat. Maxilla covered with scales. Dorsal and anal fin bases without scales. Upper caudal lobe becoming greatly elongated with increased growth. Scale rows on back parallel with lateral line. Back and upper sides deep pink to red; lower sides and belly pink; fins pink to red.

Adults inhabit rocky bottoms (Ref. 30573) of the continental shelf and continental slope (Ref. 75154). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed on small fishes, squids and crustaceans (Ref. 30573). Considered an important food fish in some areas. Marketed fresh and frozen (Ref. 9987). Highly valued for the quality of its flesh (Ref. 11888). Mnimum depth from Ref. 089972.
