Taxonomic Remarks
The species has been long thought to be present in the Mediteranean in sympatry with Trisopterus capelanus, sometimes both as subspecies. See Delling et al. (2011: Ref. 90172) for the latest revision of the genus.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0. Chin barbel well developed. Body brownish yellow dorsally, becoming paler ventrally; a dark blotch is at the base of the pectoral fin.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: circular.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: circular.
Occurs mostly from 15 to 200 m in the Atlantic on muddy or sandy bottoms. Feeds on crustaceans, small fish, and polychaetes (Ref. 1371). Used in the production of fish meal, and in southern Europe as a human food (Ref. 35388).
