Description: Inhabits coastal waters. Abundant in shallow water and often caught at the surf-line or in rock pools (Ref. 9987). Larger, solitary fish sometimes enter brackish mangrove areas (Ref. 9987). Juveniles in estuaries move into deeper water with growth (Ref. 4335). Feeds on benthic invertebrates, mainly molluscs (Ref. 5213). Also caught using longlines. Generally marketed fresh (Ref. 5284). [details] | |||||||||||||
