Ökologie
; süßwasser; brackwasser pelagisch. Tropical; 11°N - 7°S, 64°W - 36°W (Ref. 189)

Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 37032); common length : 20.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5217)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 28 - 32. Snout short, about 2/3 eye diameter; maxilla moderate, tip bluntly rounded, not quite or just reaching lower jaw articulation; lower gill rakers short, with often a single rudimentary raker in front. Pectoral fins large, reaching beyond pelvic fin base; anal fin origin in front of dorsal fin origin. Silver lateral stripe along flank, broad anteriorly, narrowing over anal fin.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in estuaries and freshwater bodies, reaching some distance inland (at least 17 km up the Suriname River; to above Santarem on the Amazon). The short and few gillrakers suggest predatory feeding on small fishes, etc. Locally consumed (Ref. 5217).
