Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9812); common length : 18.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9812)
Form schools in shallows, bogs and lower estuaries, and more saline lagoons. Often seen jumping at the surface (Ref. 9812). Fish younger than one year can be found in freshwaters, but not when older (Ref. 9812). Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205). Spawn in the sea. Feed on minute benthic organisms, including small crustaceans and filamentous algae. Marketed fresh and filleted (Ref. 9812).
