Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Epibenthic and littoral, entering estuaries and lagoons (Ref. 4343 ). Usually seen in pairs, hovering a short distance above the substratum. Monogamous (Ref. 52884 ). t builds its burrow in sand or silty sand by moving out mouthfuls of sediment (Ref. 11441 ). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 9773.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 3100 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.3   ±0.06 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 (12 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 74.8 [39.3, 146.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.625 [0.318, 1.120] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [17, 21] %; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.063, 0.247] g/100g; Selenium = 17.2 [8.9, 34.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 126 [34, 424] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.77 [1.20, 2.59] mg/100g (wet weight);
