Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8 - 11. Diagnosis: Ambassis dussumieri has the following combination of characters: supraorbital spines 1-5, usually 3-4; rostral spine present; rear margin of preopercle smooth (at least dorsally); interopercle edge smooth; two rows of cheek scales; predorsal scales 13-16; lateral line discontunuous; lower gill rakers 22-25; pectoral-fin rays 14-16 (Ref. 50956).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in estuarian and coastal areas but also in freshwaters (Ref. 57749). Generally occurs in the seas and estuaries, but also found in rivers within tidal influence (Ref. 4833). Also Ref. 43640.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1014 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00515 - 0.02940), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
