Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 14 - 16; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 15; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 7 - 9; Vértebras: 30. Diagnosis: high lateral line count (54-59 scales)(Ref. 52346). Scales small (Ref. 53244).
Swamp-dweller (Ref. 6770). Juveniles are coastal and gregarious while adults wander over the sandy bottoms by themselves (Ref. 6770), in shallow inshore areas of the lake, in lagoons and river mouths (Ref. 4967). Feeds mainly on crustaceans and insects, along with some plants (Ref. 52307), but also a mollusc eater (Ref. 6316, 10616). Maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 1872, 52307) that does not pair bond (Ref. 52307). Females have been observed with about 100 eggs of a diameter of 6 mm (Ref. 52307).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01820 (0.00751 - 0.04407), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.44 se; based on food items.
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
