Ecology Summary - Chilomycterus reticulatus

Lengua:

Referencia principal	Leis, J.M., 2001
Observaciones	Adults found in reefs and over soft bottoms to depths of 100 m, but may occur deeper in the tropics (Ref. 30573). Often found washed up on beaches. Known to brace themselves against the substrate to sleep at night (Ref. 4930). Appears to be active during the day. Juveniles often with floating weeds (Ref. 48637). Solitary. Juveniles pelagic in oceanic surface waters (Ref. 30573). Feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates. Small juveniles would be potential prey for a coelacanth (Ref. 58472).
