Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 22 - 26; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 3. Caudal rays, 10. Dorsal fin covering a total of 5.5-7 rings, usually 1.5-3 trunk rings and 3-4 and 3/4 tail rings; trunk rings 14-15; tail rings 31-33. Brood pouch covering first 9-11 tail rings with 5-16 eggs in pouch. Adult females deep-bellied, usually without the characteristic V markings on the sides of abdomen; otherwise similar to S. scovelli (Ref. 41100).
Occurs in bottoms with dense algae and seagrass (Ref. 126547). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
