Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 15 - 17; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 11 - 13. Silver to greenish, darker above; dark blotch on upper opercle; young with yellowish fins, older specimens dusky (Ref. 2799).
Inhabits coastal waters (Ref. 5213). Plentiful in tidal estuaries (Ref. 2135). Stomach contents of specimens collected from Iraq composed mainly of mollusks, sponges and tunicates (Ref. 97537). Large shoals of juveniles occur around shallow water reefs where they consume shrimps and other small invertebrates, being themselves eaten by larger fish; larger specimens are found in deeper water where they spawn throughout the year. Used extensively for bait, flesh rather insipid (Ref. 2799).
