Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 24. This species is distinguished by the following characters: usually 6-9 pored lateral-line scales and 14-16 gill rakers and rudiments; body scale margins are uniform to narrow dark edged; body mottled brown with 2-3 faint dark bars, the first below posterior part of first dorsal fin, the second below mid-second dorsal fin, and the third on anterior caudal peduncle; axil of pectoral fin without spot; 3 whitish basicaudal spots; no white spot behind posterior base of soft dorsal fin; second dorsal fin, anal fin and caudal fin pale with faint reddish banding (Ref. 93673).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in lagoons, bays and near mouths of small tidal streams; one specimen was collected in a pen shell, Atrina pectinta. Specimens were collected with rotenone without identifying cryptic associations/locations during the day (Ref. 93673).
