	<dc:description>Found in lagoons, reef flats, and reef faces (Ref. 12951).  Also in rivers far from the sea (Ref. 5578).  Feeds on bony fishes, worms, shrimp, and crabs (Ref. 12951).  Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).  Adults are sometimes accompanied by remoras or members of the trevally family (Ref. 6871).  Size at birth about 18 cm WD or larger (Ref. 6871).  Flesh utilized as food and skin used for polishing wood (Ref. 4832).  Possibly caught by sports anglers (Ref. 5578).  Recently there is a targeted fishery on this species for its skin, which is used as 'shagreen' in fashion accessories, from wallets to fancy pens; as a result, the species is in danger of disappearance (IHT 26.11.2005, p.5).  Maximum length about 300 cm TL (Ref. 30573).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Amphidromous. 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).</dc:description>
