Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well-grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there (Ref. 82692).

Can tolerate fresh water only within a narrow temperature (23-26°C). Also inhabits coral reefs (Ref. 58534). Juveniles and/or adults are found in creeks, inlets, intertidal mud flats and subtidal edge of mud flats (Ref. 121464). Feeds mainly at night on crustaceans, but also takes small fishes, fish eggs and larvae in estuaries (Ref. 7248). Rainboth, W.J. 1996 Fishes of the Cambodian Mekong.
