Mr. Nelson tells me that the species is found in the river all seasons 

 of the year. The larger specimens are usually found near the mouth 

 of the river in the current of the main stream. Small specimens were 

 observed in shallow lagoons and ponds communicating with the river, 

 occurring all along from 3 to 50 miles-above the sea. Breeding fish 

 were taken about 3 miles above the city of Tehuantepec, or 18 miles 

 from the sea.
