Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7 - 8; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 14 - 18; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 1; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 15. Seven transverse suborbital rows, complete oculoscapular and preopercular lateral-line canals, scaled nape and as a distinctive autapomorphy, an elongate anterior nostril, which extends over the upper lip. Broad dark oblique banding across the body.
Pure inhabitant of brackish waters (Ref. 92840). Occur in rivers and estuaries (Ref. 4696). Based on morphological and molecular data, this species does not enter pure freshwater and inhabits brackish waters in Sevastopol, Crimea (Ref. 59043).
