Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 14. Diagnosis: Dorsal rays VII,9; anal rays 11,12-13 (rarely 14); pectoral rays 14 (rarely 13 or 15). Two lateral-lines, scales 25 + 3-5; median predorsal scales 1-2 (rarely 3 or 4; more anterior predorsal scales in pairs). Gill rakers 5-7-+ 15-17 (total, 21-23). Body depth ~.6-2.9 in SL, and body width 2.0-2.3 in the depth; eye diameter 3.0-3.6 in head length; first dorsal spine 1.5-1.9 in second spine; second and third dorsal spine 2.4-3.0 in HL; spine of second dorsal fin 2.4-2.9, and second anal spine 3.0-3.7 in HL; pelvic-fin length 4.4-5.1, and caudal-peduncle length 4.2-4.65 in SL; distance from insertion of pelvic spine to anal-fin origin 3.8-4.4 in SL. Posterior and ventral preopercular edges fully serrate or nearly so. Scaly sheath along anal-fin base poorly developed or absent (Ref. 54391).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Occurs near river mouths and estuaries (Ref. 54391), on shallow inner reefs and mangroves (Ref. 37816), over soft or hard bottoms (Ref. 54391). Forms aggregations (Ref 90102).
