Author: Durbin, 1909
Remark: See Géry (1964: 32) and Planquette et al. (1996: 280-281) for taxonomic, distributional, and ecological remarks.
Comments: Particularly abundant in coastal creeks and floodplains where it is supported by a certain salinity level.  It is vulnerable to a trematode parasite which induces a characteristic cutaneous reaction.  Reproduction in captivity has been successful (Ref. 12225).  Maximum length questionable (Ref. 38376).
