Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 53-68 scales in longitudinal series on flanks, plus up to 13 scales on caudal fin base; 17-24 (usually 18 or more) scales in rearward transverse series (Ref. 57413). No discrete dark spot present on upper pectoral fin base, if dark pigment present, not distinct from pigment on nape; sensory papillae on upper rear field of opercle form a forked row (Ref. 81660).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in coastal rivers, lagoons, creeks, estuaries (Ref. 6802, 57413, 81660) and mangrove areas (Ref. 6802, 57413). Maximum reported total length 265 mm (Ref. 6802).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.4 - 27.9, mean 26.5 °C (based on 64 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.00592 - 0.05859), b=3.06 (2.80 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
