Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; acqua dolce; salmastro; amfidromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 10 - 13 m. Tropical; 31°N - 25°S, 52°E - 152°E
Indo-Pacific: Persian Gulf eastward to Myanmar, Andamans and Penang; Taiwan south to Arafura Sea (Ref. 9819), the northern coasts of Australia and Papua New Guinea; Sarawak; a record from the Bonin Islands; presumably the Philippines; perhaps not eastward to the Hebrides, etc.
Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 16.6  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 27.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 30691); Età massima riportata: 4 anni (Ref. 127396)
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 32 - 39. Belly with 23 to 26 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout above level of eye center, usually about level of upper rim of eye. Maxilla short or moderate; first supra-maxilla small, oval. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening.
Coastal pelagic (Ref. 68964). Presumably schooling, inshore and entering estuaries. More precise data needed, based on correct identifications. If this is the species being referred to in Ref. 6841, then the principal food of the young would be prawns and copepods, supplemented by polychaetes and amphipods.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1528 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00400 - 0.00722), b=3.09 (3.03 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.51 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.66-1.32; tmax=4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
