Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal waters, estuaries, and tidal fissures; can tolerate freshwater. It can jet a stream of water into the mud to expose crustaceans, worms and small bivalves which it feeds on (Ref. 11441); including fish (Ref. 5213). Tasty food fish (Ref. 2799). Maximum depth range from Ref. 122702.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
