Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 66 - 77; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 62 - 76; Ryggkotor: 51 - 58. Branchiostegal rays: 7 (Ref. 36399).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Juveniles are often taken in or near scattering layer (Ref. 36399). Food habits change from feeding near the bottom to picking plankton from pelagic waters (Ref. 28023). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36399).
