Salangichthys microdon may show both migratory (anadromous; adults in salt water but moving to fresh water to breed) and non-migratory (always in brackish or fresh water) life histories, with both types periodically occurring together.[5][6]
As food
In Japan, the fish is known as shirauo ("white fish"). It is often eaten raw as sashimi and sushi.
