Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Body oblong, compressed, and fairly deep (depth contained 3.0 to 3.1 times in standard length); mouth large, terminal, and oblique, its anterior edge located at the same level as the center of the eye; first gill arch with 26 to 36 gill rakers; dorsal fin notched, with 10 to 12 spines and 15 to 18 soft rays (X-XII, 15-18); second anal spine longer and stronger than third; scale series above lateral line oblique; body light brown; each scale bearing a pearly blue spot, the spots appearing to form lines following the scale series; fins yellowish (Ref. 55763).
Benthic in coastal waters. Forms schools over rocky and sandy bottoms. Feeds at night. Marketed fresh.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.6 - 28.5, mean 25.8 °C (based on 56 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00653 - 0.03348), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 9.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.12).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 88.6 [26.8, 228.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.978 [0.480, 2.078] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.164 [0.075, 0.330] g/100g; Selenium = 47.1 [18.8, 107.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.3 [8.3, 127.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.894 [0.552, 1.381] mg/100g (wet weight);
