Tidewater Goby

Oviparous (Ref. 56079). Eggs are brooded in nesting burrows constructed by males (Ref. 56079).

Was observed to feed at virtually all times of the day, indicating that this fish is neither strictly diurnal or nocturnal foragers. Feeds in groups. By preying on benthic meiofauna and macrofauna, these gobies transfer the immense productivity of the estuary to higher trophic levels (Ref. 26474).

Inhabits coastal lagoons and brackish bays at mouth of freshwater streams (Ref. 2850). IS subjected to wide variation in salinity (1-28 ppt.) and temperature (9-25°C) both within and among habitat types. The substrate and vegetation can also differ among lagoon, creek and marsh habitats (Ref. 26474). Feeds mainly on crustaceans, dipteran larvae, gastropods, and invertebrate eggs (Ref. 26474). Oviparous (Ref. 56079). Males construct nesting burrows (Ref. 56079).
