Max length : 18.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217); common length : 12.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217); peso máx. Publicado: 33.00 g (Ref. 118626)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 0; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 36 - 42. Belly with 17 to 20 + 5 to 7, total 22 to 26 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting; upper jaw with a toothed hypo-maxillary bone between hind tip of pre-maxilla and lower bulge of maxilla blade. Pelvic fins with distinct axillary scale; anal fin long, its origin under middle of dorsal fin base. Scales easily lost (Ref. 188). Bluish gray above, sides silvery (Ref. 37032).
Found inshore, along beaches and down to at least 16 m over a muddy bottom. Enters estuaries, but perhaps not tolerating very low salinities (Ref. 12225).
