Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 100 m (Ref. 89972). Tropical; 30°N - 24°S
Indo-Pacific: Persian Gulf (Ref.80050); Red Sea and East Africa to the central Indian Ocean and French Polynesia. Eastern Pacific: Mexico and Panama. The exact range is uncertain because of confusion with Sphyraena jello and Sphyraena putnamae (Ref. 9768).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 170 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9710); common length : 80.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9768); max. gepubliceerd gewicht: 7.1 kg (Ref. 40637)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 6; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 9; Anale stekels 2; Anale zachte stralen: 7 - 9. Many dark bars crossing lateral line on body, each bar oblique in upper half, but nearly vertical in the lower; caudal fin largely blackish. No gill rakers on first arch; upper and lower gill arch with rough platelets, each platelet not bearing distinct spine.
Found near current-swept lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Feeds on fishes (Ref. 89972). Usually seen in large semi-stationary schools during the day (Ref. 9768) which have a tendency to occupy the same site for months or even years at a time. Probably disperses at night to feed (Ref. 1602). Often hooked by trolling between dusk and dawn (Ref. 37816). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
