Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 19-21; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 16 - 18; Vertebrae : 27 - 28.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal reefs and among mangroves, sometimes in crevices or caves (Ref. 9710 ). Occurs in estuaries and fairly common in the tidally influenced part of the lower Mekong (Ref. 12693 ). Conceals itself in mud or debris and waits for prey to come by (Ref. 12693 ). Feeds on crabs, prawns, mollusks, echinoderms, and fishes. Stab wounds from spines can result to severe pain. Rarely trawled. Marketed fresh in the Mekong delta (Ref. 12693 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.8 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2393 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.56 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 (18 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 58.4 [32.1, 118.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.535 [0.309, 0.948] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.1, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.11 [0.06, 0.19] g/100g; Selenium = 25 [13, 52] μg/100g; VitaminA = 113 [39, 320] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [1.08, 2.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
