Info

(Lacepède, 1802)

Ambassis gymnocephalus is primarily marine fish but it enters estuaries and freshwaters.

It feeds on different copepals (like Centropages, Pseudodiuptomus, Eucalanus, Acartia and Oithona), polychaetes (chiefly Prionospio pinnara), cladocerans, decapods, cirripede larva and diatoms and rarely on Sugitta, Hippa, amphipods, larval bivalves, fish post-larva and fish scales.
