Ökologie
seewasser; süßwasser; brackwasser demersal; tiefenbereich 15 - 55 m (Ref. 10799). Tropical; 22°N - 5°S, 26°W - 13°E (Ref. 57343)

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 200 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 57402); common length : 150 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3659); max. veröff. Gewicht: 75.0 kg (Ref. 7386)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 9; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 12 - 13; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 11 - 12. Diagnosis: pectoral fin with 4 threadlike filaments (Ref. 57402, 81658). Pectoral fin inserted very low on body, generally somewhat longer than upper part of fin (Ref. 57402).
Occurs in shallow coastal waters, over sandy and muddy bottoms, sometimes in brackish habitats (Ref. 57343, 81658). Enters estuaries (Ref. 57402), occasionally caught in fresh water (Ref. 57402, 81658). Very large specimens are only found in marine waters (Ref. 81658). Feeds on crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 10799, 81658). Flesh fairly tasteful (Ref. 57402).
