Description Inhabits coastal waters (Ref. 5213), such as bays, estuaries and beaches (Ref. 9563). Young individuals up to 17 cm may be encountered near the shore, in schools pursuing and attacking small fishes (Ref. 9626), while the adults are in loose groups, often attacking shoals of mullets or other fishes and destroying numbers apparently far in excess of feeding requirements (Ref. 9860). A voracious and aggressive species (Ref. 9626). Migrates to warmer water during winter and to cooler water in summer (Ref. 9987). Good food fish; marketed mostly fresh (Ref. 9860), but also dried or salted (Ref. 5284) and frozen (Ref. 9987). [details]
