Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-13; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14; Vertebrae: 62 - 65. Distinguished by the pale, almost colorless pelvic and pectoral fins and the smaller number of gill rakers on the lower portion of the first gill arch (Ref. 27547). Dorsal rather high and falcate; pelvic fins with axillary process (Ref. 27547). Generally brownish to dark green on back; silvery on lower sides and belly; anal, pelvic and pectoral fins pale; caudal and dorsal fins dusky (Ref. 27547).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found near river mouths and brackish lagoons (Ref. 5723). Makes extensive migrations related to spawning (Ref. 27547). Feeds on invertebrates and cottids (Ref. 27547). Apparently does not feed during its spawning runs (Ref. 27547). Some populations anadromous (Ref. 96339).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00318 - 0.00866), b=3.17 (3.03 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.59 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):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 20.7 [9.1, 39.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.485 [0.229, 0.980] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.0, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.761 [0.299, 2.083] g/100g; Selenium = 9.72 [3.45, 25.08] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.7 [1.7, 70.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.515 [0.385, 0.745] mg/100g (wet weight);
