Adults usually prefer hard sandy substrate where they can burrow; can exploit a broad range of lower and mid-estuary habitats including salt marsh creeks and seagrass beds, which usually have muddy or silty substrates , as well as sand flats (Ref. 26621). Occur in bays, lagoons and shallow coastal waters. Utilized fresh and frozen; can be steamed, fried, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). Exported fresh to Japan for sashimi.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 9.1 - 24.4, mean 19.1 (based on 12 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00468 - 0.00742), b=3.17 (3.12 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (K=0.77-0.84(?); assuming tm>=2; tmax=9).

Prior r = 0.86, 95% CL = 0.57 - 1.30, Based on 1 full stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Very high.
