Recently introduced – probably via ballast water – in the central Mediterranean, it is found very rarely from Malta to the northern Adriatic.It is an inhabitant of rocky reefs and occurs at depths from 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft). Juvenile members of this species can be found with patches of drifting seaweed. This species can reach a total length of 80 cm (31 in), with the greatest recorded weight for this species of 6.4 kg (14 lb). The color pattern consists of light and dark vertical bars from which it derives its name. The species feeds mainly on hard-shelled invertebrates such as crustaceans and molluscs. It is a commercially important species and is also farmed. It is also sought after as a game fish.Five striped beakfish, of which one remains in captivity, endured more than 2 years in the partially submerged hull of the Japanese boat Sai-shou-maru.
