Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 5; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Occur mainly in marine coastal waters. Also found in inlet waters and estuaries of rivers (Ref. 559). Juveniles associate with drifting seaweed (Ref. 12114, 12115). Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205).
