Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished by having no spots on the median fins and generally, its shorter dorsal spines (Ref. 74961).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Benthic (Ref. 68964). Found on muddy substrates, from well-protected shallow estuaries to quiet, deep offshore reefs (Ref. 9710, 48635). Also found in bays and coastal waters, solitary (Ref 90102).
