Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Marketed either dried, boiled, salted, fermented, fresh, or processed in other ways; consumed locally in the form of seasoning (shrimp paste/sauce) (Ref. 409). Planktonic in life. Inhabits estuarine waters with mangroves (Ref. 374). Marine or brackish, but usually brackish and fished in the intertidal zone, estuaries (Ref. 409) and mangroves (Refs. 409, 121475). In general, it is a zooplanktivorous omnivore, wherein it primarily feeds on copepods, ostracods, other crustaceans, and molluscan veligers. It is observed to forage intensively after midnight (Ref. 104021). Omnivorous suspension feeder (Ref. 105380).
