Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 75.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9812); common length : 35.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9812)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 5; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9.
Adults inhabit coastal waters, estuaries; sometimes ascending rivers into fresh water (Ref. 9812). They prefer slow moving waters or still lagoons (Ref. 9812). Often found in turbid water, over muddy substrates, and with well-substantiated aquatic vegetation (Ref. 9812). They feed on microalgae, detritus, terrestrial plant material, and aquatic insects (Ref. 9812). Perhaps catadromous (Ref. 9812). Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205).
