Ecología
marino demersal; rango de profundidad 45 - 177 m (Ref. 27821). Deep-water
Indo-West Pacific: southern India and Sri Lanka to the Philippines, south to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea (Ref. 6192).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 48635)
Differ in color from the more common D. orientalis by the lack of blue lines in the pectoral fins and has a centrally placed dark blotch on the fin instead. Also the body lacks black spots (Ref. 48635).
Found in the continental shelf (Ref. 7300, 75154). Rarely observed due to mud-preferred habitats (Ref. 48635). Benthic (Ref. 75154). Not fished commercially but taken incidentally throughout its range. Usually caught near shore. Marketed fresh occasionally (Ref. 3392).
