Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found in coastal waters. Enters estuaries (Ref. 4833). Diet depend on size; small fish (<6.9 cm) eat small crustaceans including copepods, whereas larger fish (>7.0 cm) have a generalized diet of amphipods, polychaetes and detritus (Ref. 31455).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01738 (0.01335 - 0.02262), b=2.95 (2.88 - 3.02), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.0 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies. |
| Generation time | 1.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.00-1.20). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (12 of 100). 🛈 |
