Etymology: Histiogamphelus: Greek, istion, istos = sail + Greek, gamphelai, -on = jawbone (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; salmastro associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 3 - 20 m (Ref. 5316). Subtropical
Eastern Indian Ocean: southern Australia, from South Australia to New South Wales and Tasmania.
Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 12 - ? cm
Max length : 22.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5316)
Preferred habitat is uncertain. Some specimens have been dredged, others have been taken among loose seaweed and floating dead Zostera sp. Over fine sand bottom. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 12.3 cm SL.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.1 - 23.3, mean 17.8 °C (based on 264 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00037 (0.00016 - 0.00085), b=3.18 (2.99 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
