Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Inhabits muddy and sandy bottoms along the shore of bays and estuaries, sometimes ascends rivers. Oviparous, spawns in winter to early spring (Breder and Rosen 1966). Eggs are deposited in Y-shaped nests (Breder and Rosen 1966). Larvae and juveniles (0.9-1.3 cm SL) took mainly small planktonic animals, while newly settled and benthic juveniles (1.4-2.0 cm SL) consumed predominantly small benthic or epiphytic crustaceans, along with polychaetes. The contribution of polychaetes to the diets increased in larger individuals (2.1-5.3 and 5.4-11.4 cm SL) (Kanou et al. 2004).
