Max length : 160 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9301); common length : 100.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9301)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 14 - 17; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 14 - 16; Vértebras: 83 - 86. Vertically flattened rather than laterally compressed body. Long whiplike tail filament. Color is green dorsally, grading to silvery white ventrally, with two blue stripes or rows of blue spots on the back. Dorsal and anal fin orange becoming transparent at base. Caudal filament white. Broadly banded at night (Ref. 48635). First four vertebrae fused (Ref. 9826). Branchiostegal rays: 5 (Ref. 36710).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: flattened.
Adults inhabit reef habitats to a depth of at least 128 m, except in heavy surge areas. Also found in sandy bottoms adjacent to reef areas (Ref. 36710), either solitary or in schools (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed on small fishes, shrimps (Ref. 36327, 36710) and squids (Ref. 37816). Probably marketed fresh, salted or dried or smoked but more often reduced to fish meal (Ref. 9301).
