Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 10. Maximum standard length: 24.0 cm (Ref. 356). Caught mainly by trawl, gill net, fish corral, push net and filter net (Ref. 10). Juveniles are found in mangrove creek-inlets (Ref. 121464), in a mangrove vegetate area (Ref. 121475), in intertidal and subtidal edge of mud flats, near inshore and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464). Occurs in bottom mud or sandy-mud substrates in marine and estuarine environments (Ref. 8) and among shells (Ref. 121467). Inhabits shallow open sea or in the mouth of a river and bay areas where water is more or less turbid (Ref. 374). Adult species periodically form aggregations or 'schools' offshore (Ref. 100847). Omnivore (Ref. 116259).
