Ecología
marino; salobre bentopelágico. Tropical; 35°N - 37°S, 20°E - 178°W
Indo-Pacific: Persian Gulf to Fiji and north to Japan. Known from Delagoa Bay, Mozambique and Suez Canal on the African coast. Western Atlantic: introduced at Trinidad and Panama Canal near Atlantic end (Ref. 26938).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.5 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 4404); edad máxima reportada: 4 años (Ref. 11441)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 11 - 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 19 - 24; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 26. Head without cirri and crest. Lower end of gill opening opposite upper margin of pectoral fin. Sensory pores in infraorbital and interorbital canals mostly 8 and 3 respectively. Lateral line usually 7 to 11. Horizontal stripes on body distinct in male, but somewhat obscure in female.
Adults occur in coastal and brackish waters among rocks and mangroves (Ref. 9710). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Highly tolerant to adverse environmental conditions, self-reproducing population living between rocks in natural oil seeps in Venezuela (Ref. 56126).
