Ecology Summary - Navigobius vittatus

Language:

Main Ref.	Allen, G.R., M.V. Erdmann and N.K.D. Cahyani, 2015
Remarks	Form loose aggregations of 10-50 individuals, observed hovering 50-100 cm above the substrate on a very gradual but strongly current-swept sand and rubble slope in 28-31 m depth. Collection reef with visibility invariably quite low (5-8 m maximum) and where there was frequently a minor thermocline at the 20-25 m depth range, with the fish exposed to moderately cooler temperatures down to 27°C. When approached too closely, individuals would dive into burrows in the sand, sometimes individually but also multiple individuals entering the same burrow (Ref. 105381).
