Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 5.8, range 13 - ? cm Max length : 16.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 8); 20.5 cm TL (female)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Maximum carapace length: 3.6 cm (male); 5.5 cm (female) (Ref. 8). Maximum total length (male) from Ref. 106295. Inhabits bottom mud and mud with sand or shells. Adults live in marine environments. Juveniles usually estuarine and marine, sometimes hypersaline (Ref. 8). Adults also found in an estuary (Ref. 67428). Burrows. Exhibits diurnal activity (Ref. 105090). In general, the majority of penaeids are omnivorous or detritus feeders (Ref. 105082), although this species shows preference for animal protein (Ref. 106970).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 23.4 - 27.6, mean 26.5 (based on 124 cells).
Resilience (Ref. 69278) High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.06-1.1).
Prior r = 0.93, 95% CL = 0.62 - 1.40, Based on 6 data-limited stock assessments.
Vulnerability (Ref. 71543): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
