Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 25 - 37. Moderately long snout (1.9-2.7 in head length) (Ref. 26938).
Common in bays and estuaries. Usually found amongst vegetation (Ref. 26938). Enters fresh water. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
