More on author: Linnaeus.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; acqua dolce; salmastro demersale; distribuzione batimetrica 6 - 30 m (Ref. 44885). Subtropical; 42°N - 18°N, 98°W - 64°W

Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 13.1, range 9 - 17.3 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3815); common length : 18.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3815); peso massimo pubblicato: 1.5 kg (Ref. 40637)
Commonly found on vegetated bottoms, occasionally over rocky bottoms and in mangrove areas. Enters brackish water and even freshwaters. Often forms large aggregations. Feeds mainly on small animals, especially crustaceans, but also takes mollusks, worms and occasionally small fishes that are associated with the grassy habitat. Depth range based on the depth at which this species was captured by trawls during a baitfish survey (Ref. 44885); to be replaced with a better reference.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22.8 - 26.7, mean 24.3 °C (based on 181 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.01192 - 0.01527), b=3.05 (3.02 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.4 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 3.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
