Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Reported from salt (Ref. 48070), brackish (Ref. 43239), and fresh (Eschmeyer, pers. comm.) waters. Members of this family burrow in shallow areas with fine coral sand or muddy sand bottoms (Ref. 48316). Of no commercial interest but may be taken incidentally (Ref. 48316).
