Prionotus evolans, the striped searobin, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triglidae, the sea robins.

[2] The overall color is reddish to olive brown with a thin dark stripe along the lateral line, another one runs parallel to that on the lower body.

The mouth is large, extending as far as the anterior margin of the eye, and is slightly inferior with the lower jaw not protruding.

[1] Prionotus evolans uses the free pectoral fin rays to manipulate objects and detect prey using chemoreception.

Their rather catholic diet includes crustaceans, cephalopods, gastropods, bivalves, amphipods, eggs, other fish and seaweed.
