Comments

It is a highly esteemed fish that is not sought much by professional fishermen. It is on the other hand taken by amateur fishermen on the coast where it sometimes abounds. Its abundance is the origin of the name of place along LĂ©vrier Bay, called 'Le Trou aux Vieilles' (Ref. 5377). Also Ref. 3593.
