Discussion
- males are assumed not to differ from females (lack of data)
Facts
- length-weight: Ww in g = 0.00646*(TL in cm)^2.97 (Ref: fishbase)
- Eastern Atlantic: coastal waters of West Africa from Mauritania to Angola or Namibia. Sometimes it enters freshwater, like in Cross River and Kouilou-Niari River (Ref: fishbase)
