Length at first maturity / Tamaño / Peso / Age
Madurez: Lm 26.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 3197); common length : 40.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5450); peso máximo publicado: 510.00 g (Ref. 40637)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7 - 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 19 - 21; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 20. Dorsally bluish, ventrally silver or white, with 5-8 vertically oblong or oval black spots5-8, the first 4-5 intersect the lateral line, dorsal fin lobe black outer half (Ref. 3197, 90105). Body strongly compressed, oblong and elliptical, dorsal and ventral profiles equally convex. In adults, upper jaw extends to posterior edge of pupil. Soft rays of posterior dorsal and anal fins consist of semi-detached finlets (Ref. 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Adults are found near the surface in coastal waters (Ref. 30573), in small schools. They feed on fishes (Ref. 5213). Dorsal and anal fins may carry toxins (Ref. 12484). Generally marketed fresh, may be dried or salted (Ref. 5284).
