Main Ref. Abdurahiman, K.P., P.U. Zacharia, T.H. Nayak and K.S. Mohamed, 2007
Remarks Found on sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 30573). Feed mainly on benthic crabs, penaeid prawns and fishes (Ref. 74928). Smaller length groups (<16.5 cm) feed mostly on flatfish, and other fishes, whereas individuals of larger length groups (>16.5 cm) feed on crustaceans such as benthic crabs and shrimps (Ref. 74928).
