Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 14; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14. This species differs from its congeners by the following characters: blunt, rounded snout and horizontal, subterminal mouth; a large distinct blotch on the upper pectoral-fin base; 13 elements found in both the second dorsal fin and anal fin; first and second dorsal fins not broadly joined; scales large, 28-35 in lateral series; nape naked or with a few rows of scales before the first dorsal fin; most specimens with upper jaw having a single complete row of teeth; first gill arch with 3 triangular gill rakers on the ceratobranchial, 1 at angle and 2 lobular rakers on the epibranchial (Ref. 55435).
Specimens were collected among reeds at a sandy mud beach (Ref. 55435).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 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).
