Korte beschrijving
Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 38 - 46. Body moderately slender, belly with usually 19 to 21 - 8, total 27 to 29 scutes. Eye large, lower jaw projecting. Dorsal fin origin at about midpoint of body; anal fin origin under hind part of dorsal fin base. Vertical striae on scales not continuous, but with a distinct gap across center of scale. Swim bladder with two tubes passing back in the muscles on either side of haemal spines.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in coastal waters, but also enters rivers and tolerates water of low salinity. Feeds on planktonic crustaceans and fishes; also amphipods.
