Description Occurs in coastal waters, estuaries; sometimes ascending rivers into freshwater (Ref. 9812). Prefers slow moving waters or still lagoons (Ref. 9812). Often found in turbid water, over muddy substrates, and with well-substantiated aquatic vegetation (Ref. 9812). Feeds on microalgae, detritus, terrestrial plant material, and aquatic insects (Ref. 9812). Perhaps catadromous (Ref. 9812). [details]
