Short description
Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά): 4 - 5; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 31 - 35. Body brownish, more or less distinct dark crossbars, scattered small dark spots, fins dusky, spiny dorsal blackish (Ref. 11892).
A nearshore benthic species usually abundant in shelf waters of East Antartica (Ref. 122792). Adults feed primarily on amphipods, other fishes, and molluscan larvae, with lesser amount of polychaetes and mysids. They capture some prey in the water column, but are not cryopelagic.
