The giant mottled eel occurs in the Indo-Pacific. Adults occupy rivers from lowland stretches to higher tributaries, while juvenile stages are associated with the sea and estuaries. Its life cycle links fresh water and ocean.
It is chiefly nocturnal and eats prey including crabs, frogs and fish. Mature animals leave rivers for marine spawning grounds. Females grow larger than males.
