| Citation | Description | Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This widespread species is recorded throughout the Indo-west Pacific (east African coast to the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea and north to Japan and China (known from the Zhujiang (Pearl River) drainage including the Huanggang, Hanjiang, Rongjiang, Longjin he, Dongjiang, Beijiang, and Xijiang river systems, and also found in river mouths of Hainan Province) (Akihito and Meguro 1975, Allen 1991, Murdy and Shibukawa 2001, Pusey et al. 2004). In Manipur, India, it was not recorded before the 1960s, but is now common. Records from New Caledonia need to be verified - they are most likely another species.

Population [top]
Population:
This is a widespread species, and is common in many areas, though may not be abundant. In north-eastern Australia, this species appears to be patchily and temporarily variable in its distribution (Pusey, Kennard and Arthington 2004).
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
?Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
?Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species generally inhabits clear to turbid freshwater to estuarine habitats in rivers and streams with sand, gravel or rock substrate (Allen, 1991). In Australia and Southern Africa it is found in shallow sandy streams as well as floodplain lagoons, penetrating inland more than 300 kilometres (Pusey et al. 2004) and in Lake Chiuta in the headwaters of the Rovuma River system in Malawi. Relatively rapid seasonal migrations are undertaken during the dry season in the Northern Territory, Australia (Bishop et al, 2001). The species has a marine larval stage, but can breed in fresh water (small juveniles are present in high upstream reaches of rivers or in land-locked lagoons). It has been recorded breeding during the dry season in northern Australia and in summer in South Africa.
Systems: Freshwater
Movement patterns: Full Migrant
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: Possibly due to its large size (for a gobiid) the species is utilized as food in a range of countries (e.g. Indonesia, India, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Viet Nam) and is cultured (and marketed frozen overseas) in Viet Nam. In New Guinea it is often sold smoked (on a stick). This species forms a minor fishery in the Hooghy estuary (West Bengal) where it attains a length of about 30 cm.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
There are no major known threats to this species. Potential threats include activities that may which damage or modify the river systems in which this species occurs; e.g. the creation of dams which may adversely affect recruitment. Utilization as a food fish may be a localised threat.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions:
This species occurs in a number of protected areas in Australia and South Africa.
