Ecología
marino demersal; rango de profundidad 60 - 142 m (Ref. 5222). Tropical; 31°N - 17°S, 106°E - 126°E (Ref. 5222)
Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Pacific: known only from southern Japan, Hong Kong, Hainan Islands of China, Viet Nam, South China Sea, Java, and northwest Australia. Record from Taiwan (Ref. 6864) is dubious.
Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 33.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5222)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 15 - 16; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 8. Preopercle with 1 - 4 distinctly enlarged serrae at its angle; upper edge of the operculum straight; nostrils subequal. Pectoral fins not fleshy. Pyloric caeca 12. Body and head yellowish brown dorsally, whitish ventrally, with numerous small dark brown to black dots on the upper sides, and 5 faint oblique bars, which may disappear in preservative; the chest and ventral parts of the head pale reddish orange. The fins are pale, with the rays darker than the membrane; the soft dorsal and caudal fins with narrow dark brown margin.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Found on the continental shelf (Ref. 75154), over mud and sand substrata (Ref. 89707). Caught by trawling at depths ranging from 37 to 142 m. The small size and poor edible quality probably accounts for its low value in the markets.
