This fish species mainly lives in the Adriatic Sea and it can be found very often in large herds. They live at a variable depth near the shore or on muddy or sandy bottoms, where they feed on shellfish and small fish. It’s a benthopelagic and gregarious species, and its breeding time goes from February to May, that is during spring, resulting in the production of pelagic eggs floating on the water.
