Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 15 - 18; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 20; Vértebra: 55 - 58. Gill rakers usually 32 or less on the first arch and 25 or less on the second arch. Relatively longer upper jaw (usually longer than wide) and lower jaw (usually longer than head length), especially at larger sizes.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Occurs in inshore waters. Forms schools for spawning during mid summer (Ref. 9258). Feeds mainly on larger zooplankton like mysids, crab larvae and polychaete larvae (Ref. 26966).
