生態學
海洋 居於水底的; 深度上下限 5 - 10 m (Ref. 10815). 亞熱帶的; 37°N - 8°N, 98°W - 60°W
Western Atlantic: Bermuda, North Carolina (USA), and northern Gulf of Mexico to the Cayman Islands. Eastern Atlantic: only known from two specimens (one extant) from Joal, Senegal (Ref. 10815, 81289). This species’ appearance in brackish waters of West Africa is likely to be very rare, but cannot be discounted (Ref. 81289).
西大西洋: 百慕達群島，北卡羅萊那州 (美國) 與墨西哥灣北部到開曼群島。 東大西洋: 從 Joal ，塞內加爾知道 (一現生的) 的只有二件標本.(參考文獻 10815)

簡短描述
檢索表 | 型態特徵 | 形態測量圖
背棘 (總數) : 19 - 23. Diagnosis: 62-80 (usually 66-75) total dorsal fin rays, including 19-23 spines; 36-52 (usually 40-47) total anal fin rays; anal fin usually originating between verticals from dorsal fin elements 25-31; caudal fin rounded (Ref. 81289).
Coloration: (based on description of juvenile pigmentation, by Smith&Thacker 2000): body tan, with melanophores scattered over flanks and dorsum, forming a stripe on dorsum and a thinner stripe on flanks; mottled pigmentation on head (Ref. 81289).
Known from muddy littoral and estuarine habitats (Ref. 81289). Burrows in shallow muddy and sandy bottoms (Ref. 7251). Postlarvae and early juveniles (to ca 2-2.5 cm SL) may occur in surface plankton to distances of 15 km or more offshore; subadults and adults occasionally found swimming near the surface at night (Ref. 10815).
穴居在水淺的泥地與沙地底部中。 (參考文獻 7251) 後期幼體與早期的稚魚 (對 ca 2-2.5 公分 SL) 可能公里或更多外海出現在表面的浮游生物到距離 15 。 亞成魚與成魚偶然地發現遊近表面在晚上。 (參考文獻 10815)
