Ecology of Notaulax phaeotaenia
 
Main Ref. Wehe, T. and D. Fiege, 2002
Remarks Found in shallow waters (Ref. 2663). In muddy substrates (Ref. 107183). Larger species feed by filtering plankton and organic particles from the water column while smaller species can pick up organic matter from the sediments and filter feed organic matter (Ref. 107862).
