Ecology of Allotoca maculata
 
Main Ref. Smith, M.L. and R.R. Miller, 1980
Remarks Inhabits shallow lake margins and adjacent marshes, in less than 0.5 meter depth. Has been collected in rather clear to muddy water, over soft mud substrates which are easily roiled. It survives well in very shallow, well vegetated water of shrinking lakes and can be collected by dipnets. Also taken in areas bare of vegetation, although the type locality was choked with Eichornia when collections were made in 1957 and 1970; some Hydrocotye was also present, and where afternoon water temperatures at the lake were 15.5°C (1957) and 16.2°C (1970) (Ref. 35111).
