Etymology: Acanthogobius: Greek, akantha = thorn + Latin, gobius = gudgeon (Ref. 45335).
More on authors: Temminck & Schlegel.

Issue
Acanthogobius stigmothonus (Richardson, 1845) is considered as valid (from the South China Sea and Gulf of Tonkin) in Shibukawa & Iwata, 2013 (Ref. 93271).

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m 27.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2850); common length : 14.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12193)

Inhabits muddy and sandy bottoms along the shore of bays and estuaries, sometimes ascends rivers. Intertidal to at least 6.5 m (Ref. 96339). Oviparous, spawn in winter to early spring (Ref. 205). Eggs are deposited in Y-shaped nests (Ref. 205). Used in Chinese medicine (Ref. 12166).

Eggs are deposited near the base of the Y-shaped nest (Ref. 51058).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12 - 21.6, mean 17.9 °C (based on 189 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00373 - 0.01284), b=3.01 (2.85 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 3.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth 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 (33 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
