Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecologia

marino; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 150 m (Ref. 30573).   Tropical; 30°N - 30°S, 30°E - 162°E

Distribuzione Stati | Aree FAO | Ecosystems | Presenze | Point map | Introduzioni | Faunafri

Indo-West Pacific: tropical, widespread. Questionably occurring in the Mascarenes (Ref. 33390). Distribution is probably similar to that of Chirocentrus dorab but not always distinguished from that species (Ref. 188).

Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 100.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188); peso massimo pubblicato: 410.00 g (Ref. 4883)

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Diagnosis: The slightly longer pectoral fin, 13-18% of standard length, and the absence of black markings on the dorsal fin tip are the only satisfactory characters separating this species from Chirocentrus dorab; also there is no black on the anterior part of the anal fin (Ref. 188).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Pelagic in coastal waters, from the shore to a depth of about 150 m (Ref. 30573). It feeds on small fish and crustaceans (Ref. 5213, 30573). Marketed fresh or frozen.
