Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 10; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 10; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: small, slender and round-headed, with small eyes, long pointed caudal fin and 3-7 pectoral-fin rays free from membrane; D2 I,10; A I,10; pectoral-fin rays 19-21; longitudinal scales 22-25; TRB 7-9; the side of head naked, predorsal scales 9-12, extending forward to behind eyes; eyes are small and dorsolateral; interorbital broad and convex; jaws oblique, with small caniniform teeth; no head pores; reduced papillae pattern on head arranged in mostly longitudinal pattern, the papillae often pointed, fleshy and may be on short raised ridges. When alive, the eyes silver, head and body colour pale yellowish-white, with six or seven indistinct dusky bands across nape and sides, and a large oval black spot on posterior part of first dorsal fin (Ref. 95099).
Specimens were collected by a 2-meter beam trawl or small dredge over (and occasionally
in) very soft to firm mud (sometimes with broken shell and plant detritus such as drifts of leaves), at depths of 1-16 m. Water quality varied with the tide, from 25.8-28.4°C and 28.0-30.3 ppt‰ salinity. Reported to co-occur with estuarine fishes such as small polynemids, juvenile sciaenids,
engraulids and cynoglossids in this soft-substrate habitat (Ref. 95099).
