Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 6 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 8; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 8; Vertebre: 26. Body grey with 5-7 oblique black bands across sides; bands interspersed with black spots and chevron-shaped black markings; 2 oval spots on base of caudal fin (Ref. 43716). Longitudinal scales 26-31; TRB 8-13; predorsal scales 11-13, anteriormost enlarged, placed close behind eyes; scales on body mostly ctenoid; dorsal fin rounded, without elongate or filamentous spines, black spot usually on anterior half of fin (Ref. 43716). Caudal fin rounded (Ref. 43716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Collected mostly from tidal streams and muddy mangrove creeks and may not travel very far up into more brackish habitats. Could be kept in captivity for some weeks in seawater; can feed on live brine shrimp (Ref. 43716). Spawn in fresh water in captivity. Eggs hatch in 6-7 days at about 27°C (Ref. 44894).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
