Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 200 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 26999); common length : 180 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 47377); peso máx. publicado: 4.7 kg (Ref. 4883)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 13 - 15; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 14 - 15. With a row of bony plates along the midline (absent in F. commersoni); reddish or brownish-orange in color (whereas F. commersoni is greenish-brown).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in the sublittoral zone (Ref. 11230); inhabits coastal areas over soft bottoms, usually at depths greater than 10 m (Ref. 30573). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on small fishes and shrimps (Ref. 3401). Maximum length reported is 200 cm TL (Ref. 26999), however, no specimen over 100 cm is known to J.E. Randall (Ref. 11441).
