परिपक्व अवधि: Lm 17.0, range 13 - 29.7 cm
Max length : 66.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 127374); common length : 44.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 47377); अधिकतम प्रकाशित वज़न: 6.2 kg (Ref. 40637); अधिकतम सूचित उम्र: 15 वर्षो (Ref. 107826)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 3; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 26 - 29; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 23 - 26. Tall, with a small mouth and plate like scales (Ref. 35388). Three faint irregular broad dark bars on body; a narrow pale transverse band on chin; small light blue spots on upper half of body and median fins, and irregular short lines ventrally (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits bays, harbors, lagoons, and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). May drift with young at surface among Sargassum (Ref. 9710). Usually solitary or in small groups (Ref. 9710). Feeds on benthic invertebrates like mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 4727). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Consumed mostly fresh, smoked, and dried salted. The flesh is of excellent quality. Because it is resistant to capture, it proliferates and competes for food with other species (Ref. 5377).
Adults guard the embryos nested in sand which hatched in about two days (Ref. 9778).
