Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 3790); common length : 10.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 3790)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 2; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 27 - 29; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 27 - 29. Profile from snout to origin of first dorsal spine nearly straight (Ref. 26938). No enlarged spines on caudal peduncle, but males with an elongate patch of bristle-like spinules (Ref. 13442).
More common in offshore areas, including floating seaweed and flotsam, and around islands. Juveniles are associated with floating seaweeds (Ref. 3790). Probably feeds on plants and small invertebrates (Ref. 3790). Generally considered as trash fish, rarely consumed (Ref. 3790).
