Sciaenidae (Drums or croakers)
Etymology: Micropogonias: Greek, mikros = small + greek, pogon = beard (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Marcellin Fournier supplied specimens from Cuba. For some reason, Desmarest chose to omit the o from Fournier’s name in the scientific binomial furnieri. We have been unable to unearth any further information. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Taxonomic Remarks
The species Micropogonias opercularis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) is considered as valid in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Jul. 2010: Ref. 84883) according to López et al. (2002: Ref. 80900).

Espinas dorsales (total) : 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 26 - 30; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 9. Body silvery with a golden cast, back greyish, with distinct oblique dark streaks along scale rows extending to much below lateral line; spinous dorsal without small dark dots (Ref. 27363).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found over muddy and sandy bottoms in coastal waters and in estuaries where the nursery and feeding grounds are located. Adults form schools. Feeding habits vary with ontogenic development and season; juveniles feed on benthic migratory crustaceans and sessile boring mollusks while adults are benthos-feeders and occasionally capture fish (Ref. 27). Undergoes seasonal migration. An important food fish which is usually marketed fresh and salted.
