Inhabits seagrass beds in bays and estuaries, but also enters fresh water (Ref. 7251). Resident in estuaries during spring through fall, migrates into near shore continental shelf waters during winter. Found in waters of 4-17 °C. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.5 - 20.4, mean 4.9 (based on 199 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00028 (0.00012 - 0.00065), b=3.21 (3.03 - 3.39), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).
