Etymology: Ariomma: Greek, ari = very, strength, superiority + Greek, omma = eyes (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Poey.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser demersal; tiefenbereich 0 - 500 m (Ref. 13628). Subtropical; 41°N - 4°N, 98°W - 50°W
Western Atlantic: New Jersey, USA and northern Gulf of Mexico through the Antilles (Ref. 13628) to the Guianas.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 26340); common length : 18.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3269)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 12; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 15; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 14 - 15. Caudal peduncle slender, square in cross section, with 2 fleshy keels along each side (Ref. 26938).
Adults caught in shrimp grounds and deeper shelf areas, but occurrence is sporadic. Juveniles inhabit offshore surface waters, especially around floating weeds. Adults may be restricted to continental margins of the western Atlantic with juveniles found in the Caribbean expatriated from these populations (Ref. 51183). Feeds mainly on benthic crustaceans. An excellent food fish (Ref. 26938).
