Atlantic Coastline
The range extends from Florida and the northern Gulf toward northern Argentina. These coastal waters include a wide range of salinities and bottom conditions. A record should retain its local setting rather than treating the entire coastline as one uniform habitat.
Bottom Concealment
Adults can bury in sand or mud with only the eyes exposed. Brackish and hypersaline lagoons both occur in the habitat account. The fish’s concealment is therefore associated with soft substrate rather than a requirement for one narrow salinity category.
Young and Size
Young have a brief planktonic period before settling to the bottom. Adults feed on worms, crustaceans and small fish. The maximum reference is 33.1 centimeters total length. A much smaller sample weight is not treated as a universal maximum for the species.
Keep the Eyes and Bottom Visible
A partly buried fish can be difficult to distinguish. Include the exposed head and surrounding substrate when documenting its resting position.
