Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age

Maturity: L_m 18.7, range 17 - 23 cm
Max length : 90.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 4781); common length : 50.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 4781); μεγ. δημοσιευμένο βάρος: 11.6 kg (Ref. 40637)

Generally found in hard bottoms (rocks and rubble), the older individuals in the deeper part of the range, the young in inshore areas. Feed mainly on bivalves and also on crustaceans and fish. Sexual maturity at 2 years old. Spawning migration occurs parallel to the coast with intermittent spawning between spring and autumn over soft bottoms in shallow waters (Ref. 3688).
