Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 14; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Very slender build: head length longer than body depth; body depth more than 4 times in standard length; ventral fin length more than 1.8 times in head length; eye diameter more than 2 times in snout length, more than 1.8 times in interorbital width; greenish or greenish grey.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs mostly over rocky substrates in relatively shallow water (less than 6 m). It is a real piscivore, with almost 100% of its food consisting of fish (Ref. 35835).
