More on author: Poey.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino demersale; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 500 m (Ref. 13628). Subtropical; 41°N - 4°N, 98°W - 50°W
Western Atlantic: New Jersey, USA and northern Gulf of Mexico through the Antilles (Ref. 13628) to the Guianas.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 26340); common length : 18.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3269)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14 - 15. Caudal peduncle slender, square in cross section, with 2 fleshy keels along each side (Ref. 26938).
Adults caught in shrimp grounds and deeper shelf areas, but occurrence is sporadic. Juveniles inhabit offshore surface waters, especially around floating weeds. Adults may be restricted to continental margins of the western Atlantic with juveniles found in the Caribbean expatriated from these populations (Ref. 51183). Feeds mainly on benthic crustaceans. An excellent food fish (Ref. 26938).
