Comments: Found in coastal waters, estuaries, and tidal fissures; can tolerate freshwater.  It can jet a stream of water into the mud to expose crustaceans, worms and small bivalves which it feeds on (Ref. 11441); including fish (Ref. 5213).  Tasty food fish (Ref. 2799).  Maximum depth range from Ref. 122702.
