Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 4 - 5; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 25 - 28; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 16 - 18. Lunate caudal fin with elongated lobes in large adults; body coloration bright yellow, head somewhat greenish dorsally; dorsal fin with faint greenish stripe; axil of pectoral fin with dark spot; caudal fin transparent at centroposterior area with translucent dusky rays. Doral rays IV-V (rarely V), 25-28 but typically 27; segmented caudal rays 11-12 (typically 11); with lateral line (Ref. 54980).
Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
