In addition, has been described that its growth is governed by varying periods of availability of food, and with a thermal regime also variable, results of their extensive movements ocean. Its size in the catches in Chile fluctuates between 20 and 57 centimetres in length of fork (L. H.) with an average of 40 cm L. H., according to the records of catches in Lebu (37 ° 37' S, 73 ° 40' W), in the year 2002. In general, caught correspond to the adult fraction of the population.
