Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 7; Vértebra: 26. Light brown to grey body with 7 - 9 short oblique dark blotches, bars or chevrons on sides, bars usually broken up into off-set pairs of blotches, anteriormost body marking a dark oblique shoulder bar, head with radiate or reticulate pattern of brown lines, broad brown band crossing branchiostegal membranes on underside of head (Ref. 43716). Second dorsal and anal rays always I,7; longitudinal scales 29-40; TRB 9-13; predorsal scales 13-21, small, reaching close up behind eyes, anteriormost scale somewhat larger than rest; scales on body mostly ctenoid; first spine of dorsal fin usually longest, filamentous (usually white and conspicuous) in adult males (Ref. 43716). Caudal fin rounded (Ref. 43716).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits mangrove creeks and estuaries, sometimes well into freshwater influence (Ref. 43716).
