Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 32 - 39. Belly with 23 to 26 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout above level of eye center, usually about level of upper rim of eye. Maxilla short or moderate; first supra-maxilla small, oval. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Coastal pelagic (Ref. 68964). Presumably schooling, inshore and entering estuaries. More precise data needed, based on correct identifications. If this is the species being referred to in Ref. 6841, then the principal food of the young would be prawns and copepods, supplemented by polychaetes and amphipods.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1528 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00467 - 0.00813), b=3.04 (2.97 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.51 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.66-1.32; tmax=4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 239 [134, 635] mg/100g; Iron = 2.07 [1.05, 3.62] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [18.0, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.426 [0.212, 0.919] g/100g; Selenium = 41.1 [17.6, 89.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.29 [2.47, 28.51] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.89 [1.26, 2.77] mg/100g (wet weight);
