Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 6 - 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 14; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 21 - 26; Vertebre: 50 - 54. Branchiostegal rays: 5-6 (Ref. 36497).
Adults inhabit inshore areas, including bays (Ref. 2850). Form schools (Ref. 2850). Demersal spawners in nearshore habitats (Ref. 56049). Oviparous, with planktonic, primarily neustonic larvae (Ref. 36497). Eggs are attached to one another by spawning substrate via adhesive filaments (Ref. 36497). Sold fresh (Ref. 2850).
