Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Juveniles form large schools near the surface; adults are benthic (Ref. 559). Utilized fresh, dried or salted and frozen; can be pan-fried and broiled (Ref. 9988).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Female deposits egg mass in crevices or gravel in rocky coast less than 20 m depth. Male guards the eggs.
