Max length : 64.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 7251); common length : 40.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5217); peso máximo publicado: 3.8 kg (Ref. 40637); edad máxima reportada: 7 años (Ref. 125592)
Adults occur in coastal waters, commonly entering bays and estuaries. Juveniles found in sandy beaches exposed to wave action (Ref. 5217). Adults are absent from insular areas with coralline habitats (Ref. 5217). They generally form small to large schools. They feed on mollusks, crustaceans and other invertebrates and small fish. Excellent food fish (Ref. 9626). Highest priced marine food fish in the USA (Ref. 171). Have been reared in captivity (Ref. 35420).
