Description synthétique
Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 4 - 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 10-13; Épines anales 0; Rayons mous anaux: 18 - 19; Vertèbres: 23 - 24. Branchiostegal rays: 4 (Ref. 36710).
Found in a wide range of habitats, from near surface to near bottom and sometimes in huge schools (Ref. 2850). May range into coastal waters (Ref. 36711). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 36711). Seems to be sympatric with Macroramphosus scolopax (Linnaeus, 1758) all around the world (Ref. 89357).
