Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 17 - 18; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 26 - 27; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. Scarlet in color with a red-black blotch at pectoral base.
Inhabits coastal waters from the shore line to at least 20 m depth (Ref. 9492). Prefers rocky banks (Ref. 12484). Diurnal (Ref. 12484). Feeds mainly on small, benthic invertebrates (marine worms, crabs and mollusks), but also squid and small fish (Ref. 12484). Mainly caught with spears (Ref. 9492). Marketed fresh, whole (Ref. 9492).
