More on author: Valenciennes.
Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
marin récifal; non migrateur; profondeur 10 - 200 m (Ref. 2295). Tropical; 32°N - 23°S, 32°E - 160°E
Indo-West Pacific: widespread, including the Red Sea, Arabian (Persian) Gulf, East Africa to Sri Lanka, to the Ryukyu Islands and Papua New Guinea. Also recorded from Micronesia (Ref. 3807) and French Polynesia (Ref. 4517) but these are probably misidentifications of Lethrinus olivaceus.
Longueur à la première maturité / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm 29.1  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 80.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 48635); common length : 40.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2295); poids max. publié: 4.9 kg (Ref. 40637)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. The snout is moderately long, its dorsal profile slightly concave. Body color is bluish gray or brown often with scattered irregular dark blotches on sides; sometimes three dark streaks radiate forward from the eye. The fins are pale or orangish.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Found over sandy areas near coral reefs (Ref. 30573). Feeds on fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, and polychaetes. Swims in small schools sometimes together with L. olivaceous. Utilized as a food fish. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 9773.
