Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-15; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 10 - 12. Greatly prolonged, beak-like lower jaw; upper jaw short, triangular and without scales; preorbital ridge absent; total number of gill rakers on first gill arch 25-36; pectoral fins short, not reaching past nasal pit when folded forward; with 3-9 (usually 4-6) vertical bars on the sides. (Ref. 9843 ). Color bluish dorsally, silvery on sides. 36-41 predorsal scales. Lower lobe of caudal fin longer than upper lobe. Dorsal and anal fins located posteriorly.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in coastal waters of high islands and continental shorelines; generally in areas rich in vegetation (Ref. 5213 ) and sand flats (Ref. 48635 ). Form schools. Adults feed mainly on seagrasses, to a lesser extent on green algae and diatoms (Ref. 9843 ). Breed in estuaries (Ref. 4164 ). Marketed fresh and dried salted (Ref. 5284 , 9843 ); meat tasty (Ref. 637 ). Also caught with dragnets (Ref. 30573 ) and dipnets.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 3383 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00291 - 0.00496), b=3.07 (3.01 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.7   ±0.30 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 61.2 [21.4, 168.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.643 [0.265, 1.468] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.1, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.165 [0.067, 0.461] g/100g; Selenium = 12.5 [4.9, 32.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.7 [9.5, 186.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.06 [0.61, 1.80] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
