A coastal pelagic species (depth 0-50 m) may range inland up rivers. Young inhabit river mouths, inner bays, and mangrove forests. Tolerate a wide pH
range and salinities. Mainly diurnal. Feeds on crustaceans, insects and fishes. Often feeds beneath floating aquatic vegetation. Modified swim bladder
allows it to breathe air in low oxygen aquatic environments. Commonly observed near the surface in shallow inshore waters. Juveniles feed on plankton.
Breed offshore, possibly throughout the year. Larvae swim or drift with tidal currents and recruit to shallow coastal nurseries in 20-40 days
post-hatching.
Fishery Status:
This species is not protected or subject to fishery regulations. It is caught in the gill net and beach seine fisheries, but is an uncommon component of
the catch.
