Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 12. Silvery with reddish brown to blackish mid-lateral stripe. Main dorsal spine moderately long and without joint (Ref. 48635).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits sandy or muddy floors of shallow inlet waters. Usually in large schools among branching corals, seawhip gardens and black coral bushes to about 15 m depth. Small juveniles in surface waters and sometimes in small groups along beach edges in quiet bays and settle with crinoids or urchins (Ref. 48635). Usually processed into fishmeal (Ref. 2858).
