आकार / वज़न / Age
परिपक्व अवधि: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 100.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 26375); common length : 40.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 6077); अधिकतम प्रकाशित वज़न: 12.0 kg (Ref. 26375)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 0; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 68 - 86; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 52 - 67. Pectoral fins small, about two times head on ocular side, 2.7-3.0 time head on blind side. Pelvic fins about equal in size and shape on both sides. Caudal fin double truncate (Ref. 27363).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits coastal areas, in bays and estuaries (Ref. 36453). Found over sandy or muddy substrate. Apparently, reproduction occurs during summer in small groups of 3-15 individuals. Adults are solitary. This species is very much appreciated for its taste and high commercial value.
