Ecology Summary - Ilisha megaloptera
Ecologia de Ilisha megaloptera
 
Ref. principal Whitehead, P.J.P., 1985
Notas Apparently occurs also in rivers (Ganges - see Wongratana, 1980), but not in Vellar estuary (Ramaiyan and Whitehead, 1975); Day (1875) referred to Pellona motius (if this was indeed the present species) as riverine, 'descending as low as the coast' and gave its size as not much over 4 inches, i.e. about 10 cm standard length; this would suggest that I. megaloptera ascends and spawns in rivers (Ref. 188). Juveniles and/or adults are found in mangrove creeks, inlets, subtidal edge of mud flats, near inshore and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464). Feeds on fish, plants and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 188).
