Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 135 - 148; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 101 - 112; Σπόνδυλοι: 77 - 88. This species is distinguished and differs from S. crassus by the following characters: number of dorsal-fin rays 135-148 (121-139), anal-fin rays 101-112 (vs. 91-102), total vertebrae 77-88 (vs. 71-78), otolith ostium depth in % of sulcus length 19-29 (vs. 30-40) (Ref. 80689).

Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Common species (Ref. 34024). Based on stomach radiographs, contents include crustaceans, gastropods, remains of polychaetes, and detritus (Ref. 80689). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36413). Oval, pelagic eggs float in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
