Utbredning Länder | FAO områden | Ekosystem | Förekomster | Point map | Utplanteringar | Faunafri

Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 12 - 14; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 18-21; Taggstrålar i analfenan 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 15 - 17. Body is white with a black bar running across the head through the eye. In juveniles, a second black bar runs from the base of the soft portion of the dorsal fin to the base of the anal fin. The dorsal, caudal and anal fins are either yellow or transparent (Ref. 4855). A narrow yellow bar from gill opening to pectoral base (Ref. 13442).
