Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit coastal waters, entering brackish estuaries (Ref. 3132) and mangrove areas (Ref. 7300). Also in fresh waters (Ref. 30573). Feed on fishes and invertebrates. Eggs are guarded and fanned by the male parent (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 3744 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00479 (0.00188 - 0.01218), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 3.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
