Issue
This species is synonym of Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Nov. 2020: Ref. 86697) following Thomson (1997) and Whitfield et al. (2012). More studies are needed, or please send reference.

Size / Weight / Age
Form schools over sandy bottoms. Fees mainly on detritus and algae, but also on insects, fish eggs, and plankton. Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00538 - 0.02451), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.24 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 334 [124, 1,024] mg/100g; Iron = 2.7 [0.5, 13.3] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.2, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.333 [0.139, 0.766] g/100g; Selenium = 112 [37, 422] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.5 [4.7, 68.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.41 [1.21, 5.71] mg/100g (wet weight);
