Kort beskrivning
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 12 - 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8 - 11; Ryggkotor: 47 - 49. Branchiostegal rays: 10-12.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults are epipelagic in coastal waters (Ref. 9300), also enter neritic zone (Ref. 36606). Capable of leaping out of the water and gliding for considerable distances above the water (Ref. 9300).
