Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8 - 13; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 25; Vértebra: 44 - 51. Body slender and compressed. Anal fin base long and about twice the length of dorsal fin base. Eye diameter about twice snout length. Upper end of gill slit reaching above midline of side of body. No knob-like process in interorbital space. Dorsoposterior edge of operculum not curved inward. Traces of detached scales black. Color black or dark brown; bluish black on head and ventral surfaces, and on peritoneum (Ref. 6885).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Does not undertake a diurnal, vertical migration. Feeds heavily on crustaceans (Ref. 4525). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 35604). Minimum cdepth from Ref. 028981.
