Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Occurs in brackish estuaries with very low salinities, nearly entering freshwater (Ref. 5217). Found on shallow muddy bottoms (Ref. 5217). The female lays her eggs in a gelatinous mass on a sandy depression. Mouth brooding males guard the eggs until hatching (Ref. 35381). Marketed fresh.
