Trophic Strategy
Tightly packed schools occur along the reef margin of rocky shorelines, from just below the breaking surf to a depth of a few meters, entering estuaries and freshwater. Schools found in caves and in surge channels . Feeds on free-swimming crustaceans and small fishes at night . Utilized fresh or dried salted .
