Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8. This moderate-sized species is distinguished by the following characters:D2 I,6-8; A I,6-8; pectoral rays 15-18; segmented caudal rays 16 in 9/7 pattern; lateral scales 24-28; transverse scale count 7-81/2; predorsal scales 7-8; opercle often with three rows of cycloid scales, 1-2 cycloid scales on cheek close behind eye; shoulder girdle has a smooth bony edge; tongue is short, its tip blunt or bluntly rounded; males with upper jaw teeth in outer row long, evenly sized and evenly spaced, fairly straight, slightly flattened with pointed tips; females with upper jaw teeth of small to medium-length (not as long as in males), compressed, slender, the teeth often close-set but may be slightly apart, its tips blunt or sharp. Colouration: scale margins on the upper three-quarters of body edged with brown; with 3-6 small brown blotches along mid-side of body with posteriormost blotch at hypural crease; the caudal fin with two distinct round or almost square dark brown spots, just above and below mid-lateral line (upper spot may coalesce with spot on hypural crease) (Ref. 126575).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in estuarine to freshwater, in tidal rivers, mangrove creeks and muddy tide-pools, with substrate of sandy mud, mud and mangrove roots and leaf litter. Usually co-occurs with P. aquilonius and other local Pseudogobius species except P. jeffi (Ref. 126575).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±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).
