Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6-8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7. This species can be diagnosed from other congeners by the unique combinations of the following characters: second dorsal fin with 1 spine and 6-8 rays (modally 7), anal fin with 1 spine and 6-7 rays (modally 7), pectoral fin with 14-17 rays (modally 17) and first dorsal fin low, rounded and lacking filaments; lateral body with large ctenoid scales, longitudinal scale rows 26-28 (modally 27), predorsal scales 8-9 (modally 8); body with 3-4 longitudinal stripes throughout the trunk, first dorsal fin membrane with a big circle blue spot on their first dorsal fin membrane (Ref. 94984).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs in brackish water habitat of estuary, mangrove and earthen pond (Ref. 94984).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±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).
