Comment :

Length is presumed to be TL. Females mature at around 36 cm. Spawning around Sardinian coasts (GSA 11) occurs nearly all over the year (January to September), however a maturity peak is usually observed in winter and spring (February-May). Growth estimates outlier in auximetric graph? Not checked.
