Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 9; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Distinguished by having serrated posterior and inferior margins of preopercular bones; smooth preorbital (lachrymal); sometimes with fine serrations on jugal (infraorbital ); pointed or pinniform pharyngeal teeth; rudder-shaped urohyal bone (Ref. 75986).
Occurs in bays, estuaries, and coastal lagoons bordered by mangroves, over sandy or muddy bottoms; usually enters continental waters. Carnivorous, based on reported consumption of benthic organisms of copepods, ostracods, foraminifera, sponges, polychaetes, and molluscs, fishes, and aquatic vegetation (Ref. 75986).
