Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 33 - 36; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 27 - 30. Dorsal and anal fins in adults with scales, without basal sheath of scales, and not fully depressible Interorbital space in adults strongly convex, the profile notably arched. Scales on caudal peduncle forming a graded size series with those on the bases of the midcaudal peduncle rays.
Oceanic species which occurs near the surface (Ref. 2850). Feeds on crustaceans (amphipods and euphausiids), small fishes and squid (Ref. 4563). Rarely caught inshore (Ref. 2850). Good food fish (Ref. 6885).
