Common names: Honey blue eye, Honey blue-eye
Occurrence: endemic
Salinity: freshwater

Importance: | Ref:

Uses: no uses
Comments: Found in southern Queensland from Brisbane northward along coast to Bundaberg and on Fraser Island. Mainland populations are endangered due to urban development, water pollution and possibly, excessive fishing for commercial purposes. The exotic mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki (Ref. 48787), adversly affects the species. Most of the insular, lacustrine populations are protected within the Fraser Island National Park. Establishment of habitat reserves is under considerations (Ref. 26181). Recent surveys revealed its presence in creeks near Caloundra, Little Yabba creek west of Maroochydore, Noosa river, creeks in the wide Bay area and on Fraser Island (Bool creek, Lake Wanhar, Yindeering lakes, Ocean lake, Deepwater lake and lake Wabby (Ref. 44894). Also Ref. 5259 and 48666.

Tamaño / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.5 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 44894)

Inhabits ponds and small streams near the sea; water typically dark (tea-like) with sand or mud bottom (pH=4.5-5.8, upper limit of water temperature 27.5°-32.5°C). Occurs in slow-flowing, tannin-stained creeks and coastal dune lakes in sandy country (locally known as 'wallum'). Found along grassy banks, often among reeds or water lilies (Ref. 44894). Closely related to Pseudomugil signifer.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (tm=0.83-1; Fec=42-145; assuming multiple spawning per year).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
