Comments: Occurs in shallow coastal waters (Ref. 1371).  Enters rivers and may go considerable distances upstream, but usually remaining within regions of tidal influence (Ref. 1371, 27547).  Adults exhibit seasonal movements:  inshore during winter for purposes of spawning and offshore during summer for feeding (Ref. 1371).  Juveniles and adults are opportunistic epibenthic feeders; juveniles feed on fish and small benthic crustaceans (Ref. 1371).  Taxonomic problems to be solved.
