Short description
पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 0; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 11 - 12; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 12 - 13; जानवरों की रीड़ का जोड़: 42 - 43. Upper jaw distinctly wider than long. Snout uniform brown without any dark band on the midline. Pectoral fin shorter than head length. Lower jaw much shorter than head. Sixth and seventh anal rays of adult males greatly thickened and elongated, both rays reaching beyond the caudal base. Either dorsal ray 4 or 5 or both elongated and thickened.
Inhabit shallow water around mangrove in sheltered bays (Ref. 26367). Early juveniles are neustonic and float on the surface of estuarine mangroves (Ref. 43081).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.2 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2318 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00200 - 0.01044), b=3.03 (2.83 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 153 [58, 322] mg/100g; Iron = 0.82 [0.37, 1.88] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.117 [0.050, 0.334] g/100g; Selenium = 17.8 [8.4, 39.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 173 [47, 673] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.81 [1.14, 2.89] mg/100g (wet weight);
