Max length : 23.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 108462); common length : 15.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9785)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral fins long, reaching to or beyond level of anus. Pelvic fins very long, reaching to or just beyond level of anus. A line drawn up from posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at about 2 to 6 scale rows before origin of dorsal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin slightly longer than lower, tipped with yellow. Females predominate at small sizes, males at larger sizes. Axillary scale present. Color: Upper body pinkish, silvery white below.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Occurs on mud or sand bottoms. Most abundant in depths of 20 to 50 m. Feeds mainly on small shrimps, squid, small fishes and benthic animals.
Cycle de vie et comportement reproducteur
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Females predominate at small sizes and males at larger sizes as result of faster growth rates in males.
