Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 49; Radios blandos anales: 3. Body rings: Trunk 16 to 17; tail 36 to 39.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Occurs in coastal rivers, streams, and estuaries (Ref. 4127). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 9.7 cm SL (Ref. 5316).
