Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 29.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9321 )

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in shallow waters, most commonly in areas of mangrove development and shallow embayments. Often seen scraping algae from lava rocks or browsing on filamentous algae (Ref. 28023 ). Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205 ). More data needed. Probably caught incidentally with other mullets.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 21 - 29.1, mean 27.8 °C (based on 120 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00528 - 0.02495), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.3   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
