Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in schools over hard as well as sandy bottoms, especially in the upper 100 m. Omnivorous with a predominantly carnivorous diet (including crustaceans, cephalopods, small fish, amphioxus and worms). Protogynic hermaphrodite (Ref. 3688). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 127989.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Intermittent spawning occurs from the second year onwards between May and November according to the latitude, the stock moving toward the coast for this purpose.
