Eastern Indian Ocean: Endemic to Australia.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 11333)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 23; Raggi anali molli: 34. Two terminal bulbs separated by an interspace, 1.9 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length short 45% SL. Filaments short, 16, arising not only from its sides and from the stem proximal to it. Many filaments branched, apparently all with prominent bulblets. Distal bulb ovoid in shape, less than 1.5 times as long as wide, 1.2 times proximal bulb length (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.5 - 18.5, mean 17 °C (based on 17 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00116 - 0.00786), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
