I recently received a paper, written by some of my colleagues, who are trying to predict phytoplankton blooms in human-impacted estuarine areas, and I think their results can shed some light on our problems. The citation is: Roelke, D., L.
Scats are common inhabitants of estuarine waters of Malaysia but also occur as landlocked populations in fresh water far from the sea.
These fish as a group are native to estuarine environments where the waters are likely to be hard and alkaline at least, and may be brackish. Sodium chloride is matching their home, right? Well, maybe.

While those genera are the giants of the genus are found, often in estuarine conditions, at lengths of over a foot long (30cm), by contrast Pterobunocephalus don’t get bigger than 3.5' (9cm) and they are dainty with it.
