Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 80. Body tapering, belly rounded before pelvic fins, with 12 to 15 + 22 to 29 = 36 to 44 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla long, reaching to or beyond base of the first pectoral fin ray. Pectoral fin with 7 filaments. All other species with a long maxilla have only 6 pectoral filaments.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in coastal waters and estuaries, presumably with a biology similar to that of other members of the genus. Feed on zooplankton, small insects, crustaceans, and fish (Ref. 5258).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.6 - 28.6, mean 26.4 °C (based on 122 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00229 (0.00142 - 0.00370), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±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 to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
