Etymology: Omobranchus: Greek, omo = shoulder + Greek, brangchia = gill (Ref. 45335).

Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 11 - 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 19 - 21; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 22. Body with irregular dusky bands anteriorly; dark marks behind eye (Ref. 4404).

Adults inhabit estuaries. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00434 - 0.02525), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.1 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. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
