Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Minimum depth based on its ecology; to be replaced with a better reference. Inshore (Ref. 106568). Epibenthic (Ref. 122111). Epipelagic (Ref. 58807). Planktonic in life. Inhabits estuarine waters with mangroves (Ref. 374) where it is abundant (Ref. 122110). Found over muddy bottoms in estuarine and marine waters (Ref. 58807).
