Gerreidae (Mojarras)
Etymology: Eucinostomus: Greek, eu = good + Greek, kyon = dog + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Howard Wesley Curran is a biologist whose PhD dissertation: A systematic revision of the gerrid fishes referred to the genus Eucinostomus, with a discussion of their distribution and speciation (1942) concerned the same genus of fish. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Found over soft bottoms of coastal waters. Juveniles are commonly found in estuarine regions, mangroves, tidal streams and rivers far from the coast. Adults occur in deeper waters. Forms schools (Ref. 37955). Omnivore (Ref. 37955), feeds on vegetable matter, micro-invertebrates and detritus (Ref. 36880).
