Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 37 - 42; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 14 - 16; Σπόνδυλοι: 50 - 56. This species is distinguished by having teeth in jaws; scales on central part of body of equal length and height; when fresh caudal fin colouration dusky with black-edged yellow inner margin (Ref. 123825).
Schools in shallow waters on sandy bottom, diving into the sand when threatened (Ref. 637). Probably taken by trawl net and handnet (Ref. 123825).
