Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 10 - 400 m (Ref. 9626), usually 21 - 70 m (Ref. 9626). Subtropical; 38°N - 38°S, 98°W - 31°W (Ref. 55253)
Western Atlantic: Bermuda (Anderson, pers. comm.) and North Carolina, USA to southeastern Brazil, including Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea (Ref. 9626). Most abundant around the Antilles, on the Campeche Bank, off Panama and the northern coast of South America. Lutjanus ambiguus (Poey, 1860), an intergeneric hybrid with Ocyurus chrysurus (Bloch) as demonstrated by Loftus (1992: Ref. 33006), followed by McEachran &. Fechhelm (2005: Ref. 78464).
Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm 23.4, range 16 - 21.5 cm
Max length : 60.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 40637); common length : 25.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 55); peso massimo pubblicato: 3.5 kg (Ref. 40637); Età massima riportata: 10 anni (Ref. 3090)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 13; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Preopercular notch and knob weak. Pectoral fins short, not reaching level of anus. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Back and upper side pink to reddish, with a green tinge and diffused darker vertical bars. The lower sides and belly silvery with a yellow tinge. A series of 8 - 10 horizontal yellow or golden stripes on sides. A diffused black spot mainly above the lateral line and below the anterior portion of the soft dorsal-fin rays.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults are found over all types of bottom, but mainly around coral reefs and on vegetated sandy areas. In turbid as well as clear water (Ref. 9710). They often form large aggregations, especially during the breeding season. Feed at night on small fishes, bottom-living crabs, shrimps, worms, gastropods and cephalopods. Good food fish, it is marketed fresh.
Often form large aggregations, especially during the breeding season.
