Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 29.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 6185)

Forms large schools in estuaries and other sheltered waters with sand and seagrass bottoms. Considered primarily as an opportunistic carnivore, feeding mainly on polychaetes; also gastropods, crustaceans (crab and amphipods), algae and seagrass (mostly Zostera) are common; forams, bivalves, and ophiuroids were also found in a few stomachs.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.8 - 22.2, mean 17.6 °C (based on 272 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00265 - 0.01809), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.49 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 134 [70, 251] mg/100g; Iron = 1.24 [0.81, 2.04] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [17.3, 21.1] %; Omega3 = 0.318 [0.198, 0.536] g/100g; Selenium = 14.2 [7.9, 27.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 12.6 [5.2, 31.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.81, 1.57] mg/100g (wet weight);
