Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found over soft bottoms of bays and shallow inshore areas, often along sand beaches (Ref. 2850 ). Enters freshwater (Ref. 7251 ). Juveniles are encountered in lagoons of mangroves.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 20.6 - 28.3, mean 27 °C (based on 1053 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00825 - 0.01157), b=3.08 (3.04 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.2   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 51.4 [19.0, 111.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.642 [0.289, 1.253] mg/100g; Protein = 20.1 [18.1, 22.1] %; Omega3 = 0.216 [0.105, 0.433] g/100g; Selenium = 9.44 [4.21, 20.40] μg/100g; VitaminA = 54.2 [13.4, 206.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.2 [0.7, 1.9] mg/100g (wet weight);
