Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274 ); Inhabits shallow sand or mud bottoms of bays and estuaries. An intertidal species that actively shuttles back and forth between rock pools and air (Ref. 31184 ). For food ingestion it leaves the home pool during low tides, takes a mouth full of mud and returns to its pool where it washes out the mud through its gill membrane and swallows particles which are sieved by the gill rakers (Ref. 92840 ). Breathes air when out of water (Ref. 31184 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 19.5 - 28.9, mean 24.5 °C (based on 268 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00447 - 0.01122), b=2.85 (2.72 - 2.98), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
