Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 15 - 17; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9 - 11; Εδρικές άκανθες: 1; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 17 - 21; Σπόνδυλοι: 34 - 35. Diagnosis: Dorsal fin III + XI-XII+ 8-9, 2nd fin twice height of 1st; anal fin I + 16-18; pectoral rays 15 (1+7+7); pelvic fin I, 2, spine short and hidden, segmented rays simple, partially united by membrane. Vertebrae 10 + 24-25. LL total lateral scales 32-35; pored 20-22 scales, ends below 3rd dorsal fin; nape, belly, 1st and 2nd dorsal fin and anterior anal-fin base scaleless. Mandibular pores 2-3+1+2-3. Orbital cirrus small. Head length 3.5 in SL; eye 2.7, maxilla 2.1 in HL. Head, male masked ventrally, female with few dark spots. Fins pale, D1 with dusky distal margin. Live color unknown (Ref. 75031).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
