पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 13 - 17. Diagnosis: 47-50 total dorsal fin rays, including 13-17 spines; 26-30 total anal fin rays; anal fin usually originating between verticals from dorsal fin elements 18-20; caudal fin slightly pointed (Ref. 81677). Coloration: body yellowish white, perhaps slightly rosy, with many small brown spots forming numerous vertical bands; bands on more posterior parts of body chevron-shaped, marking arrangement of myomeres; snout and dorsal parts of preoperculum and operculum also mottled with numerous small black spots (Ref. 81677).

Subadults and adults burrow in muddy littoral or estuarine bottoms (Ref. 10815).

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=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
