Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 34 - 37. Belly with 25 to 27 (rarely 24) keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout at about level of upper rim of eye. Maxilla moderate, projecting slightly beyond edge of gill cover; first supra-maxilla minute, oval; jaw teeth slightly enlarged compared with other species. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening; a pair of dark lines on back, from nape to caudal fin.
Presumably schooling, occurring mostly inshore and entering estuaries. More data needed.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27.5 - 28.5, mean 28 °C (based on 48 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00186 - 0.01024), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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 (16 of 100).
