Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 17. Body slightly compressed. Snout moderate, about 1/2 eye diameter; maxilla short, tip evenly rounded, failing to reach pre-operculum by 1/2 pupil diameter; pseudobranch short, about 3.4 eye diameter; gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin origin slightly behind base of last dorsal fin ray. Bright silver stripe along flank, about 3/4 eye diameter, dark bordered above.
Occurs along the coastal zones and estuaries. Can tolerate a range of salinities, but there is no data on penetration into freshwater or fully marine habitats. More data needed (Ref. 12225).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00253 - 0.01141), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref.
120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
