Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. Body dark brown to black, with longitudinal rows of small black spot; 2-3 saddles on back and side; black 1st dorsal fin; dark crossbands on pelvic fins (Ref. 2798).

Inhabits intertidal areas, estuaries, lagoons and coastal rivers. Common in mangroves (Ref. 4343, 44894). Occasionally penetrates the lower reaches of freshwater streams (Ref. 44894).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2860 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00632 - 0.01736), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
