Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found usually over sandy or muddy bottoms in coastal waters to about 60 m depth. Occurs in nursery and feeding grounds in river estuaries during summer and fall. Juveniles often stay in the estuarine waters throughout the year. Feeds mainly on worms, small crustaceans and organic detritus. A small specimen of this species was caught in Tokyo Bay, Japan, probably brought in with the ballast water of a ship (Ref. 10325 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 13.2 - 26.7, mean 24 °C (based on 314 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00583 - 0.01426), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.2   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies. Generation time: 2.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.4; tmax=4). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Low . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 101 [57, 196] mg/100g; Iron = 1.09 [0.59, 1.91] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.6, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.351 [0.207, 0.560] g/100g; Selenium = 23.2 [12.9, 43.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.7 [4.5, 36.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.981 [0.723, 1.462] mg/100g (wet weight);
