Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Caudal fin emarginate in juveniles.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Juveniles live in a specific inshore habitat until they reach 18 cm, thereafter it lives in the superficial pelagic zone; exclusively pelagic predator, feeding on clupeids and to a lesser extent on Luciolates; highly susceptible to intensive fishing (Ref. 2216). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Juveniles often found near river mouths, but not in the rivers (Ref. 36901). Also caught using handlines (Ref. 4967).
