Max length : 30.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 48635)

Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

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).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

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).
