Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Weight / Age

Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?, range 4 - ? cm Max length : 15.4 cm BL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 409); 18.9 cm BL (female); μεγ. δημοσιευμένο βάρος: 18.00 g (Αναφ. 116487)

Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Maximum carapace length: 3.5 cm (male); 4.2 cm (female) (Ref. 8). Common body length: 7.0 to 14.0 cm (Ref. 409). Minimum depth range from Ref. 111048. Subtidal (Ref. 106854). Found mainly in turbid waters down to a depth of 95 m over bottoms of mud, sandy-mud or silt. Juveniles are found in estuaries and backwaters, also in seagrass beds, mangrove banks, mud flats, and open channels (Ref. 8) while adults are found in deeper waters (Ref. 10). Juveniles from a riverine mangrove are likely to obtain nutrition from phytoplankton and possibly epiphytic algae than from mangrove leaves or detritus (Ref. 105141). Omnivore (Ref. 116259).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
