Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 9.2  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 3607)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal waters. Enters estuaries (Ref. 4833). Diet depend on size; small fish (<6.9 cm) eat small crustaceans including copepods, whereas larger fish (>7.0 cm) have a generalized diet of amphipods, polychaetes and detritus (Ref. 31455).
