Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3790); common length : 10.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3790)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 2; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 27 - 29; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 27 - 29. Profile from snout to origin of first dorsal spine nearly straight (Ref. 26938). No enlarged spines on caudal peduncle, but males with an elongate patch of bristle-like spinules (Ref. 13442).
More common in offshore areas, including floating seaweed and flotsam, and around islands. Juveniles are associated with floating seaweeds (Ref. 3790). Probably feeds on plants and small invertebrates (Ref. 3790). Generally considered as trash fish, rarely consumed (Ref. 3790).
