Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 12. Caudal fin large and bluntly pointed with dark lyre-shaped mark on base consisting of 2 dark spots separated by pale central area. Snout very short, mouth small and inferior. Adults have first 3 or 4 dorsal fin spines elongate, reaching from third to sixth ray of second dorsal in females, to base of caudal peduncle in males. Predorsal area and top of head scaled as far forward as eye (Ref. 26938).
Occur mainly in muddy backwaters of bays and estuaries, often in foul waters. Also found on muddy bottoms of fresh water (Ref. 13628).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.5 - 28.2, mean 27.1 °C (based on 636 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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).
