IUCN status: LC

A large, powerful drum that can top two metres and produces a drumming sound from its swim bladder. It works inshore and shelf waters at every depth, chasing schools of herrings and mullets, and gathers near the coast to spawn in spring and summer. Young fish run into estuaries and lagoons, and the species migrates along the shore with the seasons.
