Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 14 - 16; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8 - 10; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 18. This thick-bodied species is characterized by the following: large eye; no enlarged scale in pectoral axil; a prominent brown network outlining scales on the lower sides the body; lacking horizontal brown lines (Ref. 93281).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
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).
