Ecologia
marino pelagic-neritic; oceanodromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 1050 m (Ref. 54256), usually 100 - 200 m (Ref. 54256). Subtropical; 67°N - 38°S, 26°W - 42°E
Eastern Atlantic: Norway to Cape of Good Hope, South Africa to southwestern Indian Ocean (South Africa to southern Mozambique), and Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea.
Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm 22.9, range 21 - 30 cm
Max length : 70.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3197); common length : 22.0 cm FL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397); peso massimo pubblicato: 2.0 kg (Ref. 27584)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 30 - 36; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 24 - 32. Bluish green, grey or black above, silvery white below; opercle with black spot (Ref. 3197). Lateral scales tall and keeled. Gill cover with a distinct black spot. First dorsal fin tall (Ref. 35388).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Adults form large schools in coastal areas with sandy substrate. They feed on fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Are batch spawners (Ref. 51846). Females lay 140,000 eggs, which hatch into 5mm long larvae (Ref. 35388). Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 4233). Utilized fresh, smoked, canned and frozen; can be fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9988). Divided into two stocks: West stock and North Sea stock. West stock spawns in a belt from the Biscay to Ireland in early spring, migrates north and eastwards to southern Norway and northern North Sea. North Sea stock spawns in the southern North Sea in summer, migrates to central North Sea, Skagerrak and Kattegat.
