Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 2; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 140 - 141. Head large; eyes also large; snout short, narrow, bluntly acute, with a small bifid scute at its tip. Head completely scaled except for underside of snout. Body tapering to a point posteriorly from behind the origin of the first dorsal fin base. Pyloric caeca 20. Spinules on scales broad, shield-shaped. Overall color is brownish to swarthy; trunk bluish to violet; fins blackish; mouth and gill cavities gray to blackish.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Specimens from northwestern Africa feed primarily on faunal organisms, especially polychaetes (90% of contents) and a variety of small crustaceans. Smaller individuals (30-40 mm head length) feed mostly on epibenthic organisms, especially the copepod Aetidopsis carinata (Ref. 6219).
