Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 10 - 11; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 25 - 30; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7; Wirbelzahl: 25. In life, silvery grey becoming darker above and lighter below. Dorsal surface with a bluish bronze sheen that may become coppery on head. Preserved specimens vary in color according to treatment; usually grey but sometimes brown; darker above and lighter below (Ref 11025).

Adult fish found mainly near shore beyond the surf zone, occasionally going inshore. Juveniles exclusively found inshore. Juveniles recruit to estuaries at about 30 cm TL. An important food fish (Ref. 11025).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 16.7 - 27.8, mean 25.3 (based on 600 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00536 - 0.01781), b=3.07 (2.92 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.6 se; based on diet studies.

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert 4,5 - 14 Jahre. (tm=6; tmax=40; K=0.03-0.24; Fec=900,000-1 million).

Prior r = 0.30, 95% CL = 0.20 - 0.45, Based on 1 full stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).

Preiskategorie (Ref. 80766): Medium.
