Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 14; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 8. Snout rounded, preopercular notch and knob moderate or weak. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line, rows occasionally horizontal in juveniles. Scale rows on cheek 5 or 6. Back and side dark olive brown to copper-red, becoming whitish ventrally. Young with 9 dark cross-bars; margin of spinous dorsal and most of anal fin black.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults inhabit coastal rocky and coral reefs up to at least 60 m depth (Ref. 9313). Juveniles may be encountered in estuaries with mangroves and mouths of rivers (Ref. 9313). Carnivorous, feed on big invertebrates (such as crabs, prawns and shrimps) and fish (Ref. 9313). Marketed fresh or frozen (Ref. 9313).
