Etymology: Lagodon: Greek, lagos = hare + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Linnaeus.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser; süßwasser; brackwasser demersal; tiefenbereich 6 - 30 m (Ref. 44885). Subtropical; 42°N - 18°N, 98°W - 64°W
Western Atlantic: Massachusetts (USA), Bermuda, and northern Gulf of Mexico to Florida Keys, USA and Yucatan, Mexico. Also in northern coast of Cuba; absent in Bahamas or rest of Antilles (Ref. 26938).
Length at first maturity / Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm 13.1, range 9 - 17.3 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3815); common length : 18.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3815); max. veröff. Gewicht: 1.5 kg (Ref. 40637)
Commonly found on vegetated bottoms, occasionally over rocky bottoms and in mangrove areas. Enters brackish water and even freshwaters. Often forms large aggregations. Feeds mainly on small animals, especially crustaceans, but also takes mollusks, worms and occasionally small fishes that are associated with the grassy habitat. Depth range based on the depth at which this species was captured by trawls during a baitfish survey (Ref. 44885); to be replaced with a better reference.
