Etymology: Histiogamphelus: Greek, istion, istos = sail + Greek, gamphelai, -on = jawbone (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Edward Alfred Briggs (1890–1969) was a zoologist at the Australian Museum (1912– 1918). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin; saumâtre récifal; profondeur 3 - 20 m (Ref. 5316). Subtropical
Eastern Indian Ocean: southern Australia, from South Australia to New South Wales and Tasmania.
Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?, range 12 - ? cm
Max length : 22.5 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5316)
Preferred habitat is uncertain. Some specimens have been dredged, others have been taken among loose seaweed and floating dead Zostera sp. Over fine sand bottom. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 12.3 cm SL.
