Max length : 110 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 4225); common length : 60.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 9987); peso máximo publicado: 11.0 kg (Ref. 9987)

Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Found only in relatively clear waters (Ref. 32693), adults in clear lagoon and seaward reefs, juveniles in shallow inshore and brackish waters (Ref. 9710). Pelagic (Ref. 58302). Mainly solitary but sometimes form small loose groups (Ref. 48635). Adults feed on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 5213) while juveniles feed on scales and epidermal tissues torn from other schooling fishes (Ref. 9710, 90102). Venom glands were not visible, not able to be confirmed in specimen (Ref. 57406). Utilized fresh, dried or salted or frozen (Ref. 9987).
