Comprimento de primeira maturação / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm 17.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 44.8 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 104752); common length : 28.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 3792)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 9; Raios dorsais (total) : 8; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 6. Body pale tan with distinctive yellow stripe from eye to caudal fin; tail yellow. Less brightly colored than other species and is the only one with a single yellow stripe along side (Ref. 26938).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found over sandy areas of lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Often in schools (Ref. 26938). Forms schools with the smallmouth grunt (Haemulon chrysargyreum), an association regarded as social protective mimicry (Ref. 52492). Juveniles are common in seagrass beds (Ref. 9710). Feeds on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 7313). Marketed fresh (Ref. 3792).
