Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 26. Body with about seven brown blotches along midside, three oval to round dark spots at caudal base (Ref. 43716). Longitudinal scales 35-51; TRB 12-18; predorsal scales 17-25, mostly small, anterior few sometimes larger, extending to between rear preopercular margin and rear of eyes; ctenoid scales on body extending forward in wedge to behind pectoral fin; third spine of dorsal fin modally longest, but no spines elongate (Ref. 43716). Caudal fin rounded posteriorly (Ref. 43716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits estuarine areas (Ref. 43716).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 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).
