Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 90 - 242 m, usually 90 - 140 m (Ref. 55). Subtropical; 41°N - 30°S, 99°W - 32°W (Ref. 55)
Western Atlantic: North Carolina, USA and Bermuda to São Paulo, Brazil (Ref. 57756). Most abundant around the Antilles and the Bahamas.
Length at first maturity / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm 41.6, range 24 - 26 cm
Max length : 83.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 40637); common length : 45.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 55); peso máx. Publicado: 8.3 kg (Ref. 4699)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 10 - 11; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 14; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 7 - 8. Preopercular notch and knob weak. Pectoral fins long reaching level of anus. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Back and upper sides pink to red, grading to pink with a silvery sheen ventrally; sides with very fine undulating yellow lines; the fins mostly reddish or pale yellow. Young specimens (under about 25 cm) with a blackish spot on upper side below anterior dorsal soft rays.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults are common near the edge of the continental and island shelves; also found in deeper waters (below 200 m); usually ascending to shallow water at night. They feed mainly on fishes, shrimps, crabs, gastropods, cephalopods, tunicates and some pelagic items including urochordates. Marketed fresh. Said to be a good food fish (Ref. 5521).

Maturidade | Reprodução | Desova | Ovos | Fecundidade | Larvas
Spawning occurs over most of the year in lower latitudes, but is seasonal (spring and summer) toward the northern and southern limits of the distribution.
