At high tide they move in schools across the sand flats and retreat to the slopes of the banks when the tide falls. These whiting are principally marine residents (Ref. 27646, 27012), and can tolerate upper Spencer Gulf waters with salinity as high as 40-50 ppt (Ref. 6390). They may also penetrate to the limit of the brackish water in tidal creeks, where salinity is as low as 1 ppt (Ref. 6335, 27012). Juveniles inhabit warmer water, mangrove-lined creeks and inshore protected environments (Ref. 27012) over mud bottoms and seagrass beds (Ref. 6390). The spawning season commences in September and is completed by January in Shark Bay and slightly later along the coast to the south (Ref. 6390). Oviparous (Ref. 205), and are multiple spawners with asynchronous development (Ref. 27656). McKay, R.J. 1992 FAO Species Catalogue. Vol. 14. Sillaginid fishes of the world (family Sillaginidae).

They are timid fish, and bury themselves in the muddy or sandy substrate when alarmed (Ref. 6390). In Western Australia, adults prefer more open, firm sandy banks and beach areas all year, whereas in South Australia adults share the juvenile habitat during winter, moving onto the sandbanks and into deeper water during summer (Ref. 6390). Yellowfin whiting typically spend their entire life in waters less than 5 m in depth (Ref. 27657). These shallow, nearshore areas also provide nursery habitats for this species (Ref. 27657).Feed mainly on polychaetes and bivalves, which is extracted from the sediment using their downward-protruding mouth (Ref. 53687).
