Comments: Occurs inshore, in the intertidal zone (Ref. 4343), in brackish and freshwaters, particularly estuaries, coastal lagoons, mangrove swamps (Ref. 4343, 57403, 79590), creeks and lower river basins (Ref. 57403). Tolerant of fresh waters and may ascend rivers, although less common in these habitats; may establish burrows in subtidal mud (Ref. 79590).
