Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10. Body very high, 50% of SL. Lateral line incomplete, but a few pored scales on a silvery midlateral band. Lower margin of inter operculum with few spines. The second spine of the first dorsal fin is strong and very long.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in brackish-water, mangrove, estuarine and freshwater-stream habitats, usually within 20 km of the sea (Ref. 2847). They occur at temperatures ranging from 28 to 32°C. Found in schools and migrate to freshwater. Mainly diurnal. A predominantly marine or estuarine spawner. Caught by hand and scoop nets (Ref. 7242).
