Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 11; Vertebrae: 27. Characterized by pale grey body color with large, irregular brown blotches dorsally on head and upper half of body; five, horizontally elongate dark brown blotches arranged in a longitudinal row at side of body; generally translucent fins except white pelvics; upper and lower pectoral fin base with dark brown spot; dorsal rays VI+I,11, thin and flexible dorsal spines; anal rays I,11; pectoral rays 18; lanceolate caudal fin, longer than head length; pelvic fin rays I,5, frenum well developed; longitudinal scale series 32-33; transverse scales from origin of second dorsal fin ventroposteriorly to anal fin base 8; transverse scales from anal fin origin dorsoanteriorly to first dorsal fin base 9; predorsal scales 13-14; cycloid scales covering body; head without scales except dorsally and laterally on nape (Ref. 90102).
Found in deep water, 18-30 m, frequent in very shallow water 0-3 m in highly protected near-shore environments, marine lakes and brackish estuaries (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00342 - 0.01847), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
