Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 35 - 41. Body moderately deep, belly with 19 + 8 or 9, total 27 or 28 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting; upper jaw with a toothed hypo-maxillary bone between hind tip of pre-maxilla and lower bulge of maxilla (easily felt with fingernail). Dorsal fin origin near midpoint of body. Scales with upper and lower vertical striae not meeting at center of scale.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs inshore and perhaps, like P. ditchela, entering estuaries.
