More on authors: Bloch & Schneider . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; brackish; reef-associated; depth range 50 - 200 m (Ref. 47690 ). Subtropical; 32°N - 30°S, 30°E - 169°E Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Indo-West Pacific: East Africa, as far south as Durban in South Africa, to southern Japan and northeastern Australia, east to New Caledonia. Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m 14.0   range ? - ? cm Max length : 30.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 47690 ); common length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 47690 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 3 - 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 40-45; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 30 - 33. This species is distinguished by its very deep body, almost triangular, extremely compressed; sharp-edged breast; greatest body depth below lateral line at least 4 times greater than greatest body depth above lateral line; anal fin very long-based, commencing at point of insertion of pelvic fins, uniformly very low; dorsal spines (X in juveniles) reducing in number with increasing age. Colour of body with upper sides deep metallic blue, the rest silvery, a row of round to ovoid, dark slaty-blue spots above and below lateral line, sometimes a few additional spots above and below these rows; pelvic fins with a trace of blue, other fins hyaline or slightly dusky (Ref. 47690 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Inhabits deeper coastal waters near the bottom on both the continental shelves and around major island groups; sometimes in river estuaries (Ref. 47690 , 48635 ). Found in schools (Ref. 47690 , 48635 ). Feeds on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 5213 ). Readily dries in air without salting (Ref. 4375 , 48635 ). Caught in trawls and by beach seine, but mainly by trawling, often incidentally. Marketed fresh and dried (Ref. 47690 ). Minimum depth from Ref. 30573.
