Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Body deep, elongated and slightly compressed; eye with an adipose eyelid; posterior edge of lower jaw behind posterior edge of eye; chest mostly scaleless, just a small patch in front of pectoral fins; 35 to 42 strong scutes; back of body blue to blue black; belly white, silvery, or yellow; pectoral fins and operculum each with a black spot (Ref. 55763).

Adults occur in oceanic and coastal waters, commonly found in shallow water, with larger individuals up to 350 m depth (Ref. 9283). Also found in brackish water and occasionally ascend rivers (Ref. 9283). They form medium-sized to big schools, but large adults may be solitary (Ref. 9283). They feed mainly on fishes, but also takes shrimps and other invertebrates (Ref. 9283). Often makes a grunting sound when captured (Ref. 9283). Juveniles are often found in river estuaries (Ref. 9283). Marketed fresh, frozen, smoked and salted or dried; also utilized as fishmeal and a source of oil (Ref. 9283).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.9 - 21.7, mean 15.7 °C (based on 68 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00938 - 0.02333), b=2.95 (2.83 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.61 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 5.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 28.6 [11.4, 60.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.665 [0.328, 1.382] mg/100g; Protein = 20.4 [18.1, 22.9] %; Omega3 = 0.388 [0.210, 0.722] g/100g; Selenium = 35.6 [15.3, 84.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.38 [2.23, 21.63] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.416 [0.252, 0.668] mg/100g (wet weight);
