Usually found on sand bottom among or near rocks from shallow areas to about 183 m depth, but usually at less than 30 m. Juvenile feed on benthic invertebrates (crabs, bivalves and mysids) and rarely fish; adults prey on fishes (especially Porichthys notatus) and also on crustaceans (Ref. 9342). Pelagic spawners (Ref. 56049). Important game fish (Ref. 9342).
Pelagic spawner (Ref. 56049).
