Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 7 - 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9-10; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11; Vertebre: 24. Adults have 2-4 supraorbital spines, a short-based and deeply notched dorsal fin, and are transparent and silvery with dusky scale edges (Ref. 33616).
Inhabits brackish mangrove estuaries, tidal creeks and lower reaches of freshwater streams. Aggregations are common among mangrove roots, log snags and aquatic vegetation (Ref. 44894). Occurs in lotic and lentic freshwater as well as in mangrove areas (Ref. 7300), forming schools (Ref. 33616).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Assuming Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
