Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6. Distinguished by the following characteristics: short-bodied Redigobius; pale grey coloration; dark brown to blackish bar under eye and dense black spot at rear of red and orange first dorsal fin; five short transverse papilae rows under eye; ctenoid nape scales; nearly always having a second dorsal and anal fin ray count of I,6; pectoral rays 17; longitudinal scales 22-25; TRB 7 1/2-9; predorsal scales 5-7, reaching close up behind eyes (Ref. 84480).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Occurs in brackish estuaries and tidal creeks and rivers (Ref. 2847). Found in brackish mangrove and the lower reaches of freshwater streams (Ref. 44894).

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=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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