Migration

provided by Fishbase
Amphidromous. Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well-grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there (Ref. 82692).

Biology

provided by Fishbase
Adults occur in the littoral zone, down to 20 m depth, and on all sandy-muddy bottoms of estuaries, rivers and coastal streams where it penetrates far enough sometimes. They hide completely in the sediment, leaving out its eyes, in order to look out for predators and prey. Feed on small crustaceans and fish. Reproduction is like to occur between July and September (Ref. 35237). Maximum length reported to reach 37 cm TL (Ref. 5217).

Achirus achirus

provided by wikipedia EN

The drab sole (Achirus achirus) is a brackish water-dwelling sole of the genus Achirus native to the waters of South America, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.[2] The drab sole is also commonly used by humans as an aquarium fish.[3]

Biology

The drab sole, like most flatfish, has both eyes on the same side of its head as an adult. It is brown with green fins and the body (including the fins) is covered in black spots. It can grow to a size of 37 cm (although they average only about 30 cm) and have been recorded as weighing up to 1 kg.[4] The fish is an obligate carnivore and its diet consists of various smaller finfish and crustaceans living in the sediment.[4]

Environment

The drab sole is a type of flatfish that lives on the bottoms of brackish and freshwater rivers and estuaries around the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of South America.[4] It dwells generally in only shallow water, living in areas of about 1–20 meters in depth.[4] It is also an amphidromous fish, with migrational patterns that are not unlike some species of salmon.[4]

Aquarium use

The drab sole is sometimes used as an aquarium fish.[3] While sometimes advertised as being a freshwater fish and capable of surviving in freshwater, in fact it usually requires some amount of salt for it to remain in the best possible state of health.[3] It requires a tank of at least 100 gallons at a temperature of 72-85 degrees Fahrenheit, and it usually gets along well with other fish.[3] The drab sole is carnivorous, and while it will not prey on other fish it requires a meat-based diet (worms or small fish work well).[3]

Achirus achirus ( French )

provided by wikipedia FR

La sole sombre (Achirus achirus) est un poisson plat de la famille Achiridae. Il se rencontre tant en eau douce, qu'en eau de mer ou saumâtre, dans l'Atlantique ouest, de l'île Trinité à l'embouchure de l'Amazone.

Description

Achirus achirus mesure jusqu'à 37 cm pour un poids maximal publié d'un kilogramme[1].

Comportement, habitat

Achirus achirus se rencontre sur le littoral jusqu'à une profondeur de −20 m et sur les fonds sablo-vaseux des estuaires qu'il remonte parfois. Il se cache complètement dans les sédiments, ne laissant dépasser que ses yeux, à l'affût des proies et prédateurs. Il se nourrit de crustacés et de poissons. La reproduction a lieu entre juillet et septembre[2].
