Ecologia
marinhas; estuarina associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 100 m (Ref. 89972), usually 2 - 60 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 28°N - 28°S

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.5 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 37816)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 10 - 11; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 9 - 10. Saurida differs from all other lizardfishes by possessing several rows of villiform teeth extending outward onto the lips beyond the normal row of large canine, and 9 instead of 8 pelvic rays. The species is recognized by the large dark blotches below the dorsal fins (Ref. 48635).
Benthic in sand, mud, rock and eel-grass habitats (Ref. 58302). Solitary on sand and silt bottoms (Ref 90102). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 89972). Found primarily inshore, e.g. in mangroves and seagrass beds, also near streams and river mouths. Piscivorous. Caught with artisanal gear. Sold fresh in markets.
