Length at first maturity / Tamaño / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m 13.1, range 9 - 17.3 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 3815); common length : 18.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 3815); peso máximo publicado: 1.5 kg (Ref. 40637)

Commonly found on vegetated bottoms, occasionally over rocky bottoms and in mangrove areas. Enters brackish water and even freshwaters. Often forms large aggregations. Feeds mainly on small animals, especially crustaceans, but also takes mollusks, worms and occasionally small fishes that are associated with the grassy habitat. Depth range based on the depth at which this species was captured by trawls during a baitfish survey (Ref. 44885); to be replaced with a better reference.
