Comprimento de primeira maturação / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm 15.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 36.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4781); common length : 25.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4781)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12 - 13; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 9 - 10. Body tall without stripes but with a black spot at the pectoral fin base (Ref. 35388).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Adults inhabit various types of bottoms, especially seagrass beds and sand down to 500 m depth, but more common between 40 and 100 m. The young are found nearer to the shore. Omnivorous, but prefer worms, mollusks and small crustaceans (Ref. 3688). Important food fish.
Most individuals are first males, then become females at a size of about 24 to 30 cm (Ref. 2715) or 17 to 29 cm TL; 2 to 7 years (eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea) (Ref. 4781). Also Ref. 28504.
