Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal spines : 1; Anal soft rays : 9 - 10; Vertebrae : 26. Pectoral fin rays entire. Predorsal cycloid scale 7-10, ctenoid on trunk. Few spots on nape; a dusky line running from eye dorsal to sensory pore path, ending at or before pectoral fin base; wavy brown lines on the snout. Pelvic and distal part of anal fins darker in males than in females. Appressed anal fin reaching within a distance of 1-2 scales of caudal fin in male, 2-4 scales in female; appressed 2nd dorsal slightly overlapping caudal in male. Some males exhibit 3-4 vertical bars on abdomen and 2-3 horizontal bars in 1st dorsal fin (Ref. 420 ); longitudinal scale series 30-32; no scales on cheek and opercle; body depth 4.9-6.1 in SL (Ref. 90102 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in turbid coastal areas near river mouths at less than 1 m to at least 12 m, Ref. 48637.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.7 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2615 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5010   [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   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 139 [69, 301] mg/100g; Iron = 0.849 [0.417, 1.558] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.7, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.153 [0.067, 0.292] g/100g; Selenium = 16.6 [8.1, 37.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 145 [39, 485] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.53 [1.67, 3.75] mg/100g (wet weight);
