Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 25 - 28; Anal spines: 2 - 3; Anal soft rays: 22 - 25. Upper jaw does not reach to anterior margin of eye. Juveniles have about 5 vertical dark bars on body.
Adults prefer offshore reefs (Ref. 9710) and open marine waters (Ref. 26938). Juveniles often found near the shore on seagrass beds or often associated jellyfish or floating Sargassum (Ref. 5217). Generally solitary but sometimes seen in small groups (Ref. 26235). They feed on small fishes (Ref. 26235). Spawning occurs offshore from February to October (Ref. 26938). Flavor considered fair to good (Ref. 5521).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.8 - 28, mean 26.4 °C (based on 462 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01259 - 0.03021), b=2.90 (2.78 - 3.02), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec > 7 million eggs).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 13.7 [6.4, 31.7] mg/100g; Iron = 1.1 [0.5, 2.4] mg/100g; Protein = 21 [18, 23] %; Omega3 = 0.229 [0.121, 0.445] g/100g; Selenium = 4.57 [2.11, 11.39] μg/100g; VitaminA = 44.3 [8.2, 283.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.351 [0.180, 0.796] mg/100g (wet weight);
