Écologie
marin; saumâtre benthopélagique; profondeur ? - 250 m (Ref. 27000), usually ? - 100 m (Ref. 27000). Tropical
Eastern Atlantic: west coast of Africa, from Senegal to Angola (Ref. 57395). Also reported from Mauritania (Ref. 5377).
Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm 15.5  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 36.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5476); common length : 30.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5476)
Épines dorsales (Total): 11 - 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 15-17; Épines anales 3; Rayons mous anaux: 9 - 10; Vertèbres: 27. Diagnosis: body oblong and compressed; snout rather short, about equal to eye diameter; 2 anterior pores on chin, followed by a median pit bearing openings of another pair of pores (Ref. 57395). A pore above posterior end of maxilla and under preorbital bone; last dorsal spine about the same length or even shorter, exceptionally somewhat longer, than penultimate one (Ref. 81655). 2nd anal fin spine longer and stouter than 3rd (Ref. 57395, 81655), third anal spine mostly much thinner (Ref. 81655). Caudal fin forked; scales slightly ctenoid; 6-8 scale rows between lateral line and middle of spinous dorsal-fin base (Ref. 57395).
Found over sand and mud (Ref. 2683) in coastal waters (Ref. 2683, 57395). Enters estuaries and lagoons (Ref. 2135, 57395). Feeds on other fish (Ref. 5377), shrimps, crabs, mollusks, annelids, zooplankton and detritus (Ref. 28587). Often confused with P. jubelini (Ref. 57395).
