The Inshore Lizardfish is a small but voracious predator found near shore in coastal and estuarine waters from Massachusetts to Brazil. It visits the Chesapeake Bay in summer and fall, reaching perhaps Annapolis and the Chester River. MBP records span July to October.
The species often buries itself in the sand to avoid predators and to lie in wait of prey species such as small fish and invertebrates.
There are 45 records in the project database.
