Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9 - 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 20 - 26; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 29 - 34; Vertebre: 38 - 42. Greenish above but predominately silvery; dark line at base of posterior part of dorsal; fins usually yellowish except for edging of dark on tail fin, and usually a dark spot on edge near anterior end of anal fin (Ref. 6885).
Adults often occur near piers, docks, in bays and sandy areas, but usually in quiet water and offshore areas near rocks (Ref. 2850). Viviparous, female carries the developing young (Ref. 205).
