Language:

Main Ref.	Pauly, D., 1989
Remarks	Inhabits coral reefs (Ref. 58534). Form schools in shallow coastal waters and enters lagoons, estuaries, and fresh water to feed (Ref. 9812). Juveniles may enter rice fields and mangroves (Ref. 9812). Feeds on plants and zooplankton (Ref. 6935, 4587). Feed on small algae, diatoms and benthic detrital material taken in with sand and mud; fry take zooplankton, diatoms, detrital material and inorganic sediment (Ref. 9812).
