Distinctive fish with a proportionately large head. Young in particular venture into inshore waters, especially in winter months. Adult is brown above, slivery below, marbled with golden spots and yellowish hue on flanks. Has 3 dorsal fins and 2 anal fins. Lower jaw is shorter than upper with long barbel. Widespread and fairly common, least so where fished commercially.
