Maturity: Lm 2.2, range 9 - ? cm Max length : 26.9 cm TL mannelijk/geslacht niet bekend; (Ref. 8); 28 cm TL (female); Maximaal vermelde leeftijd: 2.00 jaren (Ref. 108798)
Maximum standard length: 27.0 cm (Ref. 356). Maximum depth range from Ref. 97531. Inhabits bottom firm mud and silt with sand and shells. Juveniles can live in water with low salinities (Ref. 8).
