Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 19 - 20; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 18 - 19. Silver grey, darker above. A diffuse black spot at pectoral-fin bases, fins pale to yellowish. Mouth large, strongly oblique, lower jaw projecting. Upper jaw with a pair of large canine-like teeth at tip. Chin without barbel or pores, lower margin of snout with 2 marginal pores. Two widely separated dorsal fins. Gas bladder with a pair of horn-like anterior appendages. Sagitta (large earstone) moderately thick and oval (Ref 51721).
Found in shallow coastal waters over sandy mud or soft mud bottoms (Ref. 3702). Feeds mainly on small shrimps (Ref. 3702). Important food fish.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 27.9, mean 27.4 °C (based on 110 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00727 - 0.00867), b=3.07 (3.05 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 209 [116, 401] mg/100g; Iron = 1.19 [0.63, 2.15] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [18.1, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.269 [0.138, 0.466] g/100g; Selenium = 43.8 [22.6, 88.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.3 [8.3, 72.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.4 [1.0, 2.0] mg/100g (wet weight);
