Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines : 1; Anal soft rays : 13. Body brown with 7-8 vertical dark brown bars (Ref. 2798 ); characterized further by pale brownish grey body color with orange spots/bands on cheek and operculum; united pelvic fins, well developed frenum present; long and pointed caudal fin, nearly twice length of head; longitudinal scale series 75-80; ctenoid scales posteriorly to below middle of first dorsal fin, becoming cycloid anteriorly; scales absent on head, midline of nape and prepectoral area; low fleshy ridge on midline of nape; depth of body 5.6-6.5 in SL (Ref. 90102 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs inshore (Ref. 4343 ), mud bottoms of estuaries and protected bays (Ref. 37816 ). Found on open flat bottom and large adults mostly seen at about 30 meters depth. Dives head first into the mud for safety (Ref. 48637 ). Hides in a burrow, but can dive into mud to escape predators (Ref. 11441 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 29, mean 27.9 °C (based on 950 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00568 - 0.01465), b=2.94 (2.81 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.37 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 (12 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 64.2 [34.4, 121.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.604 [0.305, 1.060] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.9, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.157 [0.075, 0.262] g/100g; Selenium = 24.4 [13.2, 50.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 112 [31, 365] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.68 [1.18, 2.39] mg/100g (wet weight);
