Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 4 - 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 13; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 19; Vértebra: 23 - 24. Branchiostegal rays: 4 (Ref. 36710).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found in a wide range of habitats, from near surface to near bottom and sometimes in huge schools (Ref. 2850). May range into coastal waters (Ref. 36711). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 36711). Seems to be sympatric with Macroramphosus scolopax (Linnaeus, 1758) all around the world (Ref. 89357).
