Info
For mudskippers, which are fishes, the following applies: "fishes that flee from the water".
Periophthalmus argentilineatus has a distinct color pattern and morphology of the first dorsal fin.
Periophthalmus argentilineatus migrates across the mudflats with the changing tides
At high tide, this species rests on exposed sediment, rocks, or roots of the red mangrove Rhizophora stylosa, as observed at sites D, E, and L (Table 2). When the tide goes out, fish followed the receding water down to the open mudflats to forage.
With the rising tide, the mudskippers move back to the higher zones or the mangrove forest, and the cycle begins again.
