Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Distinguished by the following: total elements in dorsal fin 50-58; total elements in anal fin 43-50; pectoral-fin rays 15-20; anal-fin pterygiophores preceding the first hemal spine 3-4; caudal vertebral count 23-24; SL/total length 0.815-0.938; head length/SL 0.161-0.179; predorsal length/SL 0.188-0.218; prepelvic length/SL 0.157-0.175; preanal length/SL 0.308-0.362; four to 16 teeth on outer row of upper jaw; 8-13 teeth on outer row of lower jaw; longitudinal scale rows 69-98 (Ref. 058767).

Common in most coastal zones (Ref. 4833). Occurs along the bottom in tidal rivers and estuaries. Stays close to a self-dug burrow. Sometimes marketed fresh (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 23.9 - 29.1, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1416 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00383 - 0.00656), b=2.94 (2.86 - 3.02), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
