Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ?, range 18 - ? cm
Max length : 55.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 40637); common length : 30.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3702); Peso massimo pubblicato: 2.6 kg (Ref. 40637); Età massima riportata: 5 anni (Ref. 12193)

Adults occur usually over mud and sandy mud bottoms in coastal waters and in estuaries where the nursery and feeding grounds are located. They feed mainly on worms, crustaceans and fishes. An excellent foodfish. Sold fresh and frozen; eaten fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00508 - 0.01300), b=3.15 (3.02 - 3.28), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.50 se; Based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 69278): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.2-0.27; tm=1-2; tmax=5).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
