Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica ? - 35 m (Ref. 26912). Tropical; 23°N - 27°S, 85°W - 32°W (Ref. 189)
Western Atlantic: Antilles, Trinidad south to Brazil; also Venezuela to Panama and Honduras but not Gulf of Mexico. Meristic data tends to support three geographic units: South America (east Colombia, Venezuela south to Brazil); Antillean (and some islands off Venezuela); West Caribbean (Gulf of Honduras).
