Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 9; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 10; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 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).
