Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 2.7, range 3 - 2.7 cm
Max length : 5.7 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2850); common length : 4.3 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12193); max. reported age: 1.00 years (Ref. 26474)
Inhabits coastal lagoons and brackish bays at mouth of freshwater streams (Ref. 2850). IS subjected to wide variation in salinity (1-28 ppt.) and temperature (9-25°C) both within and among habitat types. The substrate and vegetation can also differ among lagoon, creek and marsh habitats (Ref. 26474). Feeds mainly on crustaceans, dipteran larvae, gastropods, and invertebrate eggs (Ref. 26474). Oviparous (Ref. 56079). Males construct nesting burrows (Ref. 56079).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
