Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 13-15; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 14 - 16; Vértebra: 47 - 50. Branchiostegal rays: 10-12 (Ref. 36576).
Adults are found near shore, frequently in coastal bays at or near the surface. Often form small schools. Occasionally penetrate fresh waters (Ref. 9306). Presumably oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36576). Eggs are attached to spawning substrate via filaments (Ref. 36576).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 17.4 - 28.3, mean 23.4 °C (based on 64 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00257 (0.00115 - 0.00574), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
