Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 38 - 46. Body moderately slender, belly with usually 19 to 21 - 8, total 27 to 29 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting. Dorsal fin origin at about midpoint of body; anal fin origin under hind part of dorsal fin base. Vertical striae on scales not continuous, but with a distinct gap across center of scale. Swim bladder with two tubes passing back in the muscles on either side of haemal spines.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in coastal waters, but also enters rivers and tolerates water of low salinity. Feeds on planktonic crustaceans and fishes; also amphipods.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.7 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 590 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00397 - 0.01910), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.36 se; based on food items.
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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
