Elegantly compressed body, of face more widened than the common sargue or the bedao. It likes rebuscar between the meadows posidoneas and the mixed gravels of funds. Of color silver plated with tone gilded and vertical dark bands which tend to disappear in the adult specimens. Its tail remains present a mark to cancel in its birth and finishes trimmed in black; of very prominent muzzle pointed and incisivos. It is able to reach the 45 centimetres length and to exceed the kilo of weight in much of specimens.

Just like with the remainder of esparidos, we will seek the touch with carnadas fresh, made up mainly by worms and small shellfish. Its fishing is occasionally and normally generally appear with others sargues. The zones which can provide us a greater number of captures are these close relations with large meadows of posidoneas where abound of large gravels and lajas of rock. Being wary and energetic in its fight, is a splendid animal which would be lent much to a defense more powerful than that of the real or common sargue. We will have to take care to maintain the tension in the line in a continuous way and without brusqueness since its incisivos, usually devoted to cut pieces of prisoners in rock faces, can cut volumes easily sedales of an abrupt traction. The specimens of big size like to go by our major beaches especially of night and with the sea put in fury.
