Catadromous and marine fishes
Abstract Catadromous fishes reproduce in the ocean and migrate as larvae or juveniles to coastal brackish and inland freshwater habitats before returning to the ocean as adults. Catadromous migration varies between and within marine fishes. Catadromy is pronounced in river eels, milkfish, and mullet...
