Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 7. Head and body dark; 2nd dorsal and caudal spotted; juveniles with irregular crossbars (Ref. 5493).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Adults occur in brackish estuaries, river mouths and freshwater creeks (Ref. 2847, 48637, 44894). Found in the lower courses of rivers, often upstream from the tidal zone (Ref. 12693). Young are usually found while wading in rocky creeks near the coast (Ref. 2847). Marketed fresh (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 24.9 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2830 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00426 - 0.01291), b=2.97 (2.81 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278): 3.3 ±0.55 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 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). 🛈
