Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 9 - 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 20 - 26; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 29 - 34; Vértebra: 38 - 42. Greenish above but predominately silvery; dark line at base of posterior part of dorsal; fins usually yellowish except for edging of dark on tail fin, and usually a dark spot on edge near anterior end of anal fin (Ref. 6885).
Adults often occur near piers, docks, in bays and sandy areas, but usually in quiet water and offshore areas near rocks (Ref. 2850). Viviparous, female carries the developing young (Ref. 205).
