Amphidromous. Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well-grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there (Ref. 82692).

Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 26 - 29; Analspines: 2; Analsoft rays: 6 - 8

Found in shallow coastal waters, estuaries and rivers (Ref. 9772). Juveniles and/or adults are found in intertidal mud flats, subtidal edge of mud flats, near inshore and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464).
