Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6-7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6. Distinguished by the following characteristics: moderate-sized Redigobius; single black band extending down and back from tip of first dorsal fin; distinct black band extending from eye diagonally across opercle to lower edge of pectoral fin base; first dorsal fin tall and elongate, third or fourth spine longest; opercle with small ctenoid scales; 14 circumpeduncular scales; second dorsal rays modally I,7; anal rays I,6; pectoral rays 16-17; longitudinal scales 23-25; TRB 9-11; predorsal scales 9-12 (Ref. 84480).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit coastal estuaries, lakes (Ref. 48637), and entering lower reaches of freshwater streams (Ref. 44894). Also found in quiet mangrove estuarine habitats (Ref. 84480). Also Ref. 43716.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1307 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±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).
