Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 16; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 14; Vértebra: 24. The ventrolateral surface of the body scaled anterior to a line from pectoral fin base to pelvic fin origin. Smooth supraorbital ridge (Ref. 39894).
Nothing is known on its ecology except specimens were collected from coastal waters shallower than about 13 m depth along with Gazza minuta (Ref. 39894).
