Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 34 - 37. Belly with 25 to 27 (rarely 24) keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout at about level of upper rim of eye. Maxilla moderate, projecting slightly beyond edge of gill cover; first supra-maxilla minute, oval; jaw teeth slightly enlarged compared with other species. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening; a pair of dark lines on back, from nape to caudal fin.

Presumably schooling, occurring mostly inshore and entering estuaries. More data needed.

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00172 - 0.00965), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
