Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Observed to hide in the warm shallows, deep among coarse gravel substrate. Occurs syntopically with Mugilogobius latifrons and Glossogobius flavipinnis in shallow gravel habitats (Ref. 97638).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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).
