Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. Body with small spots; sides with 4-5 groups of black spots, last spot on caudal peduncle often paired without a vertical bar at caudal base; median fins spotted; paired fins pale (Ref. 2798). Large males with dusky 1st dorsal, anal and pelvic fins (Ref. 2798); characterized further by second dorsal spine forming elongate, threadlike filament; pelvic fins united medially; presence of pelvic frenum; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 27; ctenoid scales except cycloid on breast and pectoral fin base; predorsal scales 3, scale absent on remainder of head; depth of body 6.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Usually in small groups (Ref. 90102). Found over sandy and muddy bottoms, often in weedy areas of intertidal zone; also in mangroves, estuaries, lagoons and rivers (Ref. 4343).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2768 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00521 - 0.01457), b=3.19 (3.05 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
