Ecology of Sillaginodes punctatus
| Main Ref. | Hyndes, G.A., M.E. Platell and I.C. Potter, 1997 |
|---|---|
| Remarks | The larvae move inshore to sheltered areas and settle out of the plankton when 60-80 days old and 15-18 mm long (Ref. 27669). Juveniles remain in protected waters for 2-3 years. Older ones (more than 25 cm TL) move to deeper water, particularly during winter (Ref. 27008, 27667). |
