Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

An oceanic, epipelagic species frequently solitary or forming small loose aggregations rather than compact schools. Feed on fishes and squids. Eggs and larvae are pelagic (Ref. 6769 ). An important sport fish in some areas (Ref. 9340 ). Marketed fresh, salted or spice-cured slices of meat; also frozen (Ref. 9987 ). Flesh of very good quality (Ref. 9684 ). Minimum depth from Ref. 005227.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Spawning seems to extend over a long period; fish in different maturity stages are frequently caught at the same time.
