Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 2 - 6; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 41 - 46; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 35 - 40; Vertebre: 24. Deep-bodied and strongly compressed fishes. Lateral line ends in weakly-developed scutes on the caudal peduncle. Pelvic fins lost in individuals over 9 cm. Color is brown above, silvery-white below. The anterior parts of the dorsal and anal fins bluish-gray. The other fins yellowish.

Adults inhabit coastal areas with muddy substrate. Found near the bottom during daytime and near the surface at night. They also enter estuaries (Ref. 1479). Normally form large schools (Ref. 5213). Swim on its side near the surface (Ref. 3197). Feed on zooplankton (Ref. 30573). Excellent food fish (Ref. 3197); marketed fresh, may be dried or salted (Ref. 5284).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.3 - 29.1, mean 28.1 (based on 1436 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.02118 - 0.03119), b=2.89 (2.83 - 2.95), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.35 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.6; Fec=1,692).

Prior r = 0.57, 95% CL = 0.37 - 0.85, Based on 15 data-limited stock assessments.
