Description Occurs in a variety of habitats, over mud, sand and gravel bottoms; over coral reefs and off rock shores (Ref. 10948) and in mangrove sloughs; inshore around pilings and buoys, and offshore around drifting and stationary objects; occasionally in estuaries (Ref. 9739). Encountered in the water column up to a depth of 50 m (Ref. 9626). . Feeds on crabs, fish and squids (Refs. 5213; 10948) . Caught in small quantities due to its solitary behavior (Ref. 9626). Good food fish, marketed fresh (Ref. 5284), smoked and frozen (Ref. 9987) [details]
