Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10 - 12. Scales on predorsal midline 13-20, usually 15-18; scales in horizontal series 46 to 51, usually 48-49; breast scaled; belly anteriorly with small naked patch next to pelvic base (Ref. 34009).

Occurs inshore (Ref. 4343) and enters brackish and fresh water along the upper tidal zone of rivers (Ref. 12693). Larvae spend time in the marine zooplankton and as juveniles, about 135 days old, recruit to freshwater streams where they undergo rapid growth and morphological changes neceassary for upstream migration to the adult habitat (Ref. 51037). Marketed fresh in mixed catches (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2236 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 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): 3.7 ±0.57 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
