Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 12; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 10. Rosy pink in color, brownish dorsally, silvery below; fins red, tips of caudal fin blackish (Ref. 5325).
Adults occur near sandy or muddy bottom in deep water. Feeds on larger zooplankton (Ref. 3394). Marketed fresh or frozen and proves to be an excellent foodfish (Ref. 115123).
