Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in shallow coastal waters, estuaries, lagoons, and sometimes entering tidal rivers. Recorded as having been or being farmed in rice fields (Ref. 119549). Feed on small algae, diatoms, and other organic matter. Spawn at sea. Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205). Sold fresh in markets; the roe is highly valued.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00745 - 0.01940), b=2.93 (2.80 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.7).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 170 [46, 891] mg/100g; Iron = 0.987 [0.517, 1.775] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.8, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.508 [0.214, 1.226] g/100g; Selenium = 13.6 [5.9, 33.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.2 [6.6, 74.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.43 [0.90, 2.22] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
