Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 21-23; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19. Brassy to yellowish green dorsally, shading to silvery on side with scattered dark spots (becoming more numerous with age), conspicuous silvery white spot just behind upper rear edge of opercle, dusky upper caudal fin lobe, and bright yellow to dusky lower lobe with narrow white border (Ref. 90102, Ref. 48635). Body oblong and compressed; dorsal profile moderately convex to second dorsal fin, ventral profile slightly convex. Breast scaleless ventrally, usually with small patch of prepelvic scales. Adipose eyelid weakly developed. (Ref. 90102)

Inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs, occasionally entering rivers. Juveniles found in estuaries. Swims high over bottom (Ref. 48635). Solitary or in schools (Ref. 90102). Feed primarily on fishes. Excellent food fish (Ref. 12484).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.5 - 28.8, mean 27.6 °C (based on 586 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.01108 - 0.02725), b=2.96 (2.84 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (55 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 24.2 [11.1, 46.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.426 [0.232, 0.830] mg/100g; Protein = 20.3 [18.1, 22.7] %; Omega3 = 0.129 [0.076, 0.224] g/100g; Selenium = 45.2 [22.5, 100.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45.9 [14.4, 142.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.531 [0.376, 0.785] mg/100g (wet weight);
