Lookdown

Biology

Adult lookdowns are found in shallow coastal waters, in hard or sandy bottoms, while juveniles can be seen in estuarine areas or beaches. Juveniles are distinguished from adults by having long filaments which extend from the pelvic fins. They are seen in shoals or in pairs, feeding of animals on the bottom off the sea.
