Remarks Occurs inshore, in mangrove areas; in lotic and lentic freshwater bodies (Ref. 7300). Lives in coastal marine waters, but also found in estuaries and freshwater sections of rivers (particularly in temperate southern latitudes) (Ref. 44894). Benthic omnivore, juveniles feed on algae and a range of small crustaceans, while older fish prey mainly on polychaetes (Ref. 34016). Diet changes considerably with season and increasing age (Ref. 34016).
