It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to southern Australia where it forms schools in shallows, and lower estuaries, as well as in more saline lagoons. It spawns at sea but juveniles move into freshwater until they are a year old. It feeds on benthic microorganisms such as [[crustaceans]] and filamentous algae. It is caught as a food fish. It is the only species in the [[Monotypy|monospecific]] [[genus]] ''Gracimugil''.<ref name = FishBase/>
