Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 90.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 114032)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 1; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 17 - 21; Wirbelzahl: 53 - 58. Dorsomedian head groove bordered posteriorly by slightly raised frontals and forming a "V". Gill rakers usually absent on hind aspect of first 2 gill arches. Caudal fin lobes slender and tapered. Adipose fin short-based and located posteriorly.
Inhabits coastal waters, from estuaries onto the continental shelf. Found mostly on mudflats; males incubate eggs in its mouth (Ref. 68964). Mainly opportunistic and carnivorous; feeding on sea urchins, crustaceans, fish, prawns, loose scales, and detritus (Ref. 38478).
