Length at first maturity / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm 11.9 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 2850); Idade máx. registada: 8 anos (Ref. 1744)
Espinhos dorsais (total): 4 - 8; Raios dorsais moles (total): 8-10; Espinhos anais 1; Raios anais moles: 20 - 24; Vértebras: 47 - 50. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36497).
Adults inhabit inshore waters, usually at or near surface along open coast and in bays (Ref. 36497). Oviparous, with planktonic primarily neustonic larvae (Ref. 36497). Eggs are deposited in the sand at night by the female parent (Ref. 58332) just below the high spring tide line (Ref. 36497). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.
Demersal spawners. Spawn at night on sand beaches at high tides in the spring and summer. Eggs are buried in moist sand by the female parent (Ref. 58332) and hatch about 15 days later during the next series of high tides (Ref. 2850). Females spawn 4 to 8 times during a season (Ref. 4563).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15 - 23.2, mean 21 °C (based on 103 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00275 - 0.01321), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
