Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15 - 18; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 11 - 13; Vertebrae: 35. Caudal fin barely rounded.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits rocky, sandy and muddy bottoms as well as kelp beds (Ref. 4925). Adults and juveniles feed on crustaceans, fishes and mollusks (Ref. 6885). Commonly captured by sport fishers (from shore, boats or piers) and by scuba divers (Ref. 2850). Flesh is good eating but eggs are poisonous and will make humans violently ill (Ref. 13513).
