Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 88-98; Anal soft rays: 60 - 77; Vertebrae: 35 - 37. This species is distinguished by the following characters: gill rakers 0-6 + 13-18; anterior margin of head is anterior to both eyes with about 4-5 pale blotches margined by dark bands; compared to.body scales, the scales on front margin of head more strongly ctenoid and are non-deciduous (Ref. 126076). Description. D 92 (88–98, from other localities), A 65 (60–77), pectoral-fin rays on ocular-side 12 (12–13), on blind-side 9 (10–12), caudal-fin rays 3 + 11 + 3 (3 + 11 + 3), ocular-side pelvic-fin rays 6 (6), blind-side pelvic-fin rays 6 (6), scales in lateral line 40 (39–50), gill rakers 0 + 13 (0–6 + 13–18), vertebrae 10 + 26 (10 + 25–27) (Ref. 126076).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits muddy substrates in shallow estuaries and still bays to about 30 meters depth. Active at night and usually burries itself in the sand during the day (Ref. 48637). Feeds on small benthic animals. Rarely caught by bottom trawls.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16 - 27.7, mean 23.7 °C (based on 402 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00408 - 0.02036), 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   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
