Comments: Occurs in estuaries and lower parts of the rivers at juvenile and immature adult stages in slow-running waters on sandy bottoms.  Mature females stay on shallow marine bottoms; males are pelagic.  Reproduction occurs offshore.  Leptocephali migrate to the littoral to follow up with their growth. Feeds on fish and invertebrates, especially crustaceans (Ref. 57749).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 86942.
