Biology
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures [733]. Born at 38-40 cm TL [2539]. Adults found on the continental shelf down to 100 m. Juveniles found inshore around atolls, in mangrove swamps and occasionally enter estuaries . Feeds on shellfish. Reported to live and breed permanently in freshwater.
