Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 12 - 14; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 8 - 11; Wervels: 47 - 49. Branchiostegal rays: 10-12.
Adults are epipelagic in coastal waters (Ref. 9300), also enter neritic zone (Ref. 36606). Capable of leaping out of the water and gliding for considerable distances above the water (Ref. 9300). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36606). Eggs are attached to one another and to kelp and other floating objects via long filaments (Ref. 36606).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00292 - 0.01429), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
