Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 32; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 33. Distinguished by the following characteristics: greenish body with yellowish fins; scales only on posterior 25-30% of body, remainder of body and head lacking scales; 18-27 teeth on outer row of upper jaw; 12-28 teeth on outer row of lower jaw; jaws terminating posteriorly at the vertical just anterior to posterior naris; anterior nares much closer together than posterior nares (Ref. 50587).

Found in rivers and estuaries (Ref. 4833). Occurs on mud bottoms of estuaries, and tidal parts of rivers and creeks (Ref. 2847). Feeds on small crustaceans and other benthic invertebrates (Ref. 12693). Not seen in markets (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00196 - 0.01016), b=2.98 (2.78 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.44 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
