Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 13; Anal soft rays: 13; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners in the following set of characters: D VI,12-13 segmented rays; A 13 segmented rays; pectoral-fin rays 14-15, long pectoral fin, reaching past end of pelvic fins, its length 20-22% SL; caudal-fin with 8+7 segmented rays and long, 21-23% SL; large head 29-30% SL; long snout 12-16% head length; jaws are subequal, posterior end of jaws reaching posteriorly to or beyond vertical at anterior oculoscapular canal pore F?; tip of upper lip without a small anteriorly directed skin projection; reduced longitudinal pattern of sensory papillae rows; rounded caudal fin (Ref. 93255).

Inhabits muddy bottoms of estuarine at 0.5-2 m depth; living in burrows dug by invertebrates. During breeding season, males swim vertically above the burrows and display to females (Ref. 93255).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
