Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; acqua dolce; salmastro; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 189). Tropical; 33°N - 7°N, 72°E - 124°E (Ref. 189)
Indo-Pacific: East and South China seas (from at least Suchow south to Hainan and most likely to Viet Nam), also Indian Ocean (Kerala, India).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 33.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 124713); peso massimo pubblicato: 127.32 g (Ref. 124713)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 80. Body tapering, belly rounded before pelvic fins, with 12 to 15 + 22 to 29 = 36 to 44 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla long, reaching to or beyond base of the first pectoral fin ray. Pectoral fin with 7 filaments. All other species with a long maxilla have only 6 pectoral filaments.
Occurs in coastal waters and estuaries, presumably with a biology similar to that of other members of the genus. Feed on zooplankton, small insects, crustaceans, and fish (Ref. 5258).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.6 - 28.6, mean 26.4 °C (based on 122 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00229 (0.00142 - 0.00370), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & 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): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
