Indo-Pacific. Possibly occurs in Micronesia (Ref. 1602).

Typically found on sandy substrates, sometimes coming into very shallow waters on sand flats (Ref 2334, 48635), to feed on sand-dwelling invertebrates (Ref. 48635). Sometimes enters estuaries and freshwater (Ref. 7050). Marketed fresh (Ref. 3289).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5007 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01223 (-0.15774 - 0.18221), b=3.01517 (2.91439 - 3.11595), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
