	<dc:description>Individuals 3.5 cm may ascend rivers, presumably returning to the sea shortly after (Ref. 27547).  Presumably young move offshore and reappear inshore as mature adults (Ref. 27547).  At sea, they feed on small crustaceans, worms and jellyfish, as well as larval fishes (Ref. 6885, 10276).  Females reach age 3, males age 2 (Ref. 27547).  Oviparous, with demersal eggs and planktonic larvae (Ref. 35792).  Eggs are laid on beaches with heavy surf action (Ref. 33312).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Diadromous. Regularly migrating between freshwater and seawater.  This category includes anadromous, catadromous and amphidromous fishes such as sea-lampreys, sturgeons, salmons, Anguilla, Alosa, etc.    Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Schools approach the beach to spawn, usually with the females appearing a few days before the males. At spawning, large numbers of males mill about near the edge of the surf. When a female is seen, numbers of males pursue her and try to get into spawning position. If she swims to deeper water, the males desert her. 1 to 5 males swim parallel to and slightly behind a ripe female. The males press against the female and as they reach water 2.5 to 5 cm deep, the fish bend and vibrate, releasing eggs and sperm, then retreat to deeper water. The spawning act may be repeated on several successive waves. Wave action buries the eggs, usually to a depth of 2.5 to10 cm but sometimes to as deep as 30 cm (Ref. 27547).</dc:description>
