marin; saumâtre récifal; profondeur 1 - 30 m (Ref. 34095). Subtropical; 25°S - 38°S
Western Pacific: Queensland to Victoria, Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 4690)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 15 - 16; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 5; Vertèbres: 26 - 27. Presence of a large horizontal spine below the eye, a dorsal fin which originates just behind the posterior edge of the eye, and venomous dorsal spines.
Found in seagrass beds in estuaries (extremely common during reproductive season in the austral Spring) and coastal bays, and sponge gardens on inshore reefs. Venomous dorsal spines often inflict a painful sting to fishers (Ref. 34095, 39597). Of no commercial importance but often entrapped in fishing gears such as trawls and can be dangerous to fishermen who attempt to remove these (Ref. 39597).
