Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; freshwater; brackish; reef-associated; depth range ? - 10 m (Ref.
86942
). Tropical
Indo-West Pacific: Somalia (Ref.
30573
) and southern Africa to India and probably most other parts of the Indian Ocean. Found in New Guinea (Ref.
7050
) and Tahiti (Ref.
12792
). Record from the Mascarenes by Castle (1984, in distribution map, Ref. 7245) could not be verified; probably erroneous (Ref.
33390
).

Vertebrae
: 132 - 141. Dark above lateral line, lighter below with light spots (Ref.
3972
). Elongate, more or less cylindrical, slightly compressed body, with a hard tail tip; sharply conical head; large mouth, reaching well behind eyes; teeth on jaws small, sharp, recurved; vomerine teeth larger; gill-openings a longitudinal slit beneath throat, with an extra fold of skin alongside; dorsal and anal fins very low; dorsal fin origin just behind gill-openings (Ref.
4832
).
Found in estuaries and inshore areas of turbid waters (Ref.
30573
). Occurs in rivers (Ref.
12792
). Biology not known. Probably feeds on small sand-dwelling invertebrates. Caught mainly in (dol) nets and by hand. Marketed fresh.
