Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 18 - 19; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 21 - 22. Body with russet and brow blotches (Ref. 5497).
Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
