Écologie
marin; eau douce; saumâtre démersal; catadrome (Ref. 138274); profondeur 0 - 3000 m (Ref. 86942). Tropical; 2°N - 27°S
Pacific Ocean: western New Guinea and Queensland, Australia to the Society Islands. A single specimen was recorded from a tributary of the Buffalo River, near King William's Town in South Africa (Ref. 3506), but this is questionable.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 110 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5259); common length : 60.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5259)
Vertèbres: 102 - 108. Belongs to the group of anguillas which have a short dorsal fin which originates slightly before the anus (Ref. 48622). Most closely resembles Anguilla australis and A. bicolor, from which it can be distinguished with certainty only by the number of vertebrae. Also Ref. 2847.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Adults inhabit freshwater streams, lakes and swamps, favouring coastal lagoons and the lower reaches of rivers (Ref. 5259, 2874, 12790). Spawning adults occur in marine waters. Sub-adults spend most of their lives in fresh or brackish waters (Ref. 44894). They feed mainly on fishes, crustaceans and mollusks.
