Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 5 - 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 12. Vomerine teeth forming a characteristic T pattern. Ascending process of premaxilla long, extending past orbit into interorbital space; lateral process very long and pungent. Gill rakers long and slender, longer than half the diameter of pupil. Interdorsal scales 8-10. Distinct crescentic mark present on snout immediately in front of eye; upper part of midlateral band terminating as half crescent on upper lobe of caudal fin.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Preferred habitat appears to be deeper enclosed atoll lagoons, reefs, coastal waters and harbors. May gather in schools at night when attracted to light but generally not found in very large numbers. May be taken as food by larger commercial species (Ref. 9760).
