Max length : 36.0 cm SL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 4781); common length : 25.0 cm SL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 4781)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 12 - 13; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 10 - 12; गुदा कांटा: 3; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 9 - 10. Body tall without stripes but with a black spot at the pectoral fin base (Ref. 35388).
Adults inhabit various types of bottoms, especially seagrass beds and sand down to 500 m depth, but more common between 40 and 100 m. The young are found nearer to the shore. Omnivorous, but prefer worms, mollusks and small crustaceans (Ref. 3688). Important food fish.
Most individuals are first males, then become females at a size of about 24 to 30 cm (Ref. 2715) or 17 to 29 cm TL; 2 to 7 years (eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea) (Ref. 4781). Also Ref. 28504.
