Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are found over sandy and muddy bottoms in coastal waters and river mouths (Ref. 35237). Juveniles often found in estuaries (9626). Spawning generally occurs in summer. Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 35237). Good food fish, consumed fresh (Ref. 9626).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.7 - 28, mean 27.4 °C (based on 112 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00582 - 0.02724), b=2.96 (2.77 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
