Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.9 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 124486); common length : 9.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 18 - 22. Snout moderate, about 2/3 eye diameter; maxilla relatively long, tip bluntly rounded, reaching to and a little beyond front margin of pre-operculum; gill cover canals of panamensis type. Anal fin fairly long, its origin below about middle of dorsal fin base. A silver stripe along flank, less than eye diameter (Ref. 189). Upper surface of head and back with dusky punctuations: dark spots at base of anal, median dark line posterior to anal (Ref. 37032).
Found along beaches and in estuaries, lagoons or other brackish habitats, apparently able to tolerate a wide range of salinities, but perhaps not entering freshwater.
