Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0. Body elongate, more or less cylindrical, slightly compressed, with a hard tail tip; sharply conical head; large mouth, reaching well behind eyes; teeth on jaws small, sharp and recurved; vomerine teeth larger; gill-openings strongly oblique, small, beneath the throat with an extra fold of skin alongside; very low dorsal and anal fins; dorsal fin origin about 1/4 head-length behind gill-openings (Ref. 4832). Color in life yellowish dusted with brown; upper surface of head and nape consisting of double row of yellow round spots, vertex with a yellow transverse streak; lateral line pores lighter than surrounding skin (Ref. 4832).

Inhabits estuaries, and probably inshore areas (Ref. 4832).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).
