	<dc:description>An inshore species, but apparently occurs also in rivers (Ganges at Allahabad and rivers of eastern Uttar Pradesh, but not in Velar estuary).  Ascends into the upper end of the tidal zone (Ref. 12693).  Feeds on fishes, crustaceans, amphipods, occasionally polychaetes, tunicates and small amounts of algae and diatoms.</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Apparently occurs also in rivers (Ganges - see Wongratana, 1980), but not in Vellar estuary (Ramaiyan and Whitehead, 1975); Day (1875) referred to Pellona motius (if this was indeed the present species) as riverine, 'descending as low as the coast' and gave its size as not much over 4 inches, i.e. about 10 cm standard length;  this would suggest that I. megaloptera ascends and spawns in rivers (Ref. 188).  Juveniles and/or adults are found in mangrove creeks, inlets, subtidal edge of mud flats, near inshore and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464).  Feeds on fish, plants and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 188).</dc:description>
