Max length : 60.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 56557); common length : 30.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 27773); peso massimo pubblicato: 140.00 g (Ref. 4883)
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 43 - 53. Body slender, belly with usually 24 to 25 + 10 to 15, total 34 to 42 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting. Dorsal fin origin at about midpoint of body or a little behind; anal fin origin a little behind dorsal fin base. Swim bladder with a long tube passing back down right side of body above anal fin base.
Found inshore, entering estuaries and presumably able to tolerate lowered salinities; also found in semi-enclosed sea areas (Ref. 11230). A warm-water species that does not reach the northern part of its range in cool years. Used in Chinese medicine (Ref. 12166).
