This species has the following characters: chin with a pair of distinct spines; proximal-middle radial of first anal-fin pterygiophore slender with no hollow; well developed lateral wing; 13 (rarely 12) pectoral-fin rays; A III, 9 (rarely 8); longest anal-fin ray is shorter than half of base of anal fin; body depth 34-41% LS; lateral line scales 48-51; gill rakers 22-24 on lower arm (Ref. 76883). Body uniformly brownish-silver dorsally, white ventrally (Ref. 559).
Feeds on small crustaceans and fishes, among others (Ref. 559). Caught in depths of less than 150 m (Ref. 637).
