Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 10 - 11; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 14 - 15; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 9 - 10. Juveniles without spots on body (Ref. 2799).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found in coastal waters, estuaries, and tidal fissures; can tolerate freshwater. It can jet a stream of water into the mud to expose crustaceans, worms and small bivalves which it feeds on (Ref. 11441); including fish (Ref. 5213). Tasty food fish (Ref. 2799). Maximum depth range from Ref. 122702.
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).
