Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m ?, range 18 - ? cm
Max length : 55.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 40637); common length : 30.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3702); poids max. publié: 2.6 kg (Ref. 40637); âge max. reporté: 5 années (Ref. 12193)

Adults occur usually over mud and sandy mud bottoms in coastal waters and in estuaries where the nursery and feeding grounds are located. They feed mainly on worms, crustaceans and fishes. An excellent foodfish. Sold fresh and frozen; eaten fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).
