Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 6 - 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 14; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 21 - 26; Vértebra: 50 - 54. Branchiostegal rays: 5-6 (Ref. 36497).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults inhabit inshore areas, including bays (Ref. 2850). Form schools (Ref. 2850). Demersal spawners in nearshore habitats (Ref. 56049). Oviparous, with planktonic, primarily neustonic larvae (Ref. 36497). Eggs are attached to one another by spawning substrate via adhesive filaments (Ref. 36497). Sold fresh (Ref. 2850).
