Description
The smallmouth grunt is a small fish that can reach a maximum length of 23 cm, but the ones usually observed are rather 17 cm. It has a laterally compressed body with a forked caudal fin. Its background color is silver with five bronze-yellow horizontal lines on its sides. All fins are partially or completely yellow. And its vernacular name comes from the fact that it has the smallest mouth of its family.
