Spine dorsali (totale) : 9 - 16; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 18 - 20; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 28 - 29. Caudal moderately forked (Ref. 6885). Light brown on dorsal surface, silvery ventrally, dark along midside, mid-dorsal line in irregular patches, and lateral line; spinous dorsal with dark streaks paralleling free edge; upper parts of pectorals and caudal with darkened edges, and vague dark blotches on rayed dorsal; anal, pelvic fins, and lower parts of pectorals light (Ref. 6885).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in deeper waters whereas larvae and juveniles occupy shallow, nearshore habitats (Ref. 57910). Usually buried in muddy or sandy bottoms with mouth protruding (Ref. 2850). Eggs are laid in a gelatinous mass that is attached to rocks (Ref. 2850). Some have been caught by hand in shallow water (Ref. 2850).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Incubation of eggs takes one year (Ref. 57910).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 1 - 7.6, mean 4.1 °C (based on 434 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 1.2500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.0   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Fec = 1,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100). 🛈
