Minimum depth range based on occurrence (Ref. 110177). To be replaced with a better reference. Juveniles are found in mangrove creek-inlets, intertidal mud flats and far inshore waters (Ref. 121464). Prefers sand or mud bottom and can tolerate high salinity (Ref. 10). Adults live in marine environment and juveniles live in estuarine environment (Ref. 8).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
