Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults are found in estuaries to coastal bays, often on jetty pylons (Ref. 9002). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.8 - 27.9, mean 26.2 °C (based on 428 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.1 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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 171 [86, 337] mg/100g; Iron = 1.06 [0.62, 1.96] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.9, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.223 [0.105, 0.456] g/100g; Selenium = 15.4 [7.0, 32.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 30.4 [10.8, 89.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.73 [1.14, 2.48] mg/100g (wet weight);
