Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 210 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1394); max. published weight: 40.0 kg (Ref. 1394)
Found mostly nearshore and in estuaries. The riverine species feeds on a wide variety of fish, mostly small schooling species and the coastal species consume pelagic and demersal fish and cephalopods.
