Ecology of Trichodon trichodon
 
Main Ref. Brodeur, R.D. and P.A. Livingston, 1988
Remarks Adults are found in deeper waters whereas larvae and juveniles occupy shallow, nearshore habitats (Ref. 57910). Usually buried in muddy or sandy bottoms with mouth protruding (Ref. 2850). Larvae and juveniles use shallow, nearshore habitats, whereas most adults occupy deeper waters farther from shore (Ref. 57910). Water temperature in summer and winter were about 10°C and 4°C, and salinity ranged from 30 to 33 PSS. Both planktivorous and piscivorous (Ref. 57910).
