Ecology of Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis

Main Ref.	Holthuis, L.B., 1980
Remarks	Subtidal (Ref. 106854). Juveniles are found in an estuary (Ref. 106922), mangrove inlets, subtidal edge of mud flats, near inshore and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464). Inhabits sand, mud, mud flats, mud mixed with shell fragments, fine sloppy alluvial silt, and clean sand with coarse shell and gravel (Ref. 106856). Pelagic, i.e. recorded in the water column (Ref. 106854). Omnivorous bottom feeder (Ref. 105082).
