Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9303)

There is not much knowledge of the biology of this species, aside from being found in coastal areas, but are very rare in coastal lagoons. It is commonly found in the discarded fauna of shrimp trawls (Ref. 95681).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00572 - 0.02100), b=2.97 (2.81 - 3.13), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.7 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
