Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits coastal waters, estuaries and lagoons, penetrating into freshwater; usually prefers very low brackish water or freshwater. Occasionally in hypersaline lagoons (Ref. 5217). Found over shallow soft bottoms (Ref. 5217). Feeds on fish and crustaceans. Its flesh is well appreciated (Ref. 27188).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.9 - 28, mean 27.2 °C (based on 232 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00633 - 0.00909), b=3.06 (3.01 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.74 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (tm=3-4; Fec=900,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (49 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 61.4 [35.8, 112.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.995 [0.655, 1.588] mg/100g; Protein = 19.9 [17.6, 22.0] %; Omega3 = 0.359 [0.176, 0.732] g/100g; Selenium = 19.3 [10.7, 37.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.9 [6.1, 47.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.675 [0.491, 0.950] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
