Etymology: Craterocephalus: Greek, krater, -eros = bowl, mixing vessel + Greek, kephale = head (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas; estuarina demersal. Tropical
Western Pacific: Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia to Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory, Australia.
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.5 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9760)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 5 - 7; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 6 - 8; Espinhos anais: 1; Raios anais moles: 7 - 10. Gill rakers short, with spinules, 1-13 on first lower gill arch. Anus very close to origin of fin. Second dorsal fin with I spine, 6-8 rays; anal fin with I spine and 7-10 rays. Midlateral scales 29-33.
Essentially an estuarine species and coastal species, co-occurring with C. pauciradiatus, C. mugiloides and Atherinomorus endrachtensis. Biology not known except that it can withstand very high salinities. Probably taken as food by larger commercial species. (Ref. 9760).
