Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 5 - 7; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 6-8; Taggstrålar i analfenan 1; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 10. Gill rakers short, with spinules, 1-13 on first lower gill arch. Anus very close to origin of fin. Second dorsal fin with I spine, 6-8 rays; anal fin with I spine and 7-10 rays. Midlateral scales 29-33.
Essentially an estuarine species and coastal species, co-occurring with C. pauciradiatus, C. mugiloides and Atherinomorus endrachtensis. Biology not known except that it can withstand very high salinities. Probably taken as food by larger commercial species. (Ref. 9760).
