Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0. Upper limb of the first gill arch with two rakers. A series of dark spots present on the head; a dusky black blotch on the opercle. Lateral line alternately black and white (Ref 26938).

Found onshore but most common in less than 300 m. Shallow-water specimens feed on crustaceans, worms and fish. Moves into bays and coastal waters during colder weather (Ref. 26938). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.
