Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13 - 15; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14 - 16. Body slender, with 3 - 5 weak, golden longitudinal stripes and a black spot at the pectoral fin base (Ref. 35388).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Found on the shelf or coastal pelagic on various bottoms (sand, mud, rocks and seaweeds). Gregarious, ascending to the surface mainly at night. Omnivorous, feeding mainly on crustaceans, also planktophagous. Hermaphroditic, generally protogynous. Also caught in pelagic trawls (Ref. 9987). Utilized fresh and frozen; consumed pan-fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9987).
