Larval red drum use vertical migrations to ride high salinity tidal currents into tidal creeks and shallow salt marsh nursery habitats. [12] As red drum grow longer, they increase in weight exponentially. The relationship between length (L) and weight (W) for nearly all species of fish can be expressed by an equation of the form:

Between 1975 and 1987, millions of Red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), were stocked in the bay. [6] Along with the drum, flounder can be found, as well as seatrout (Cynoscion spp.), which dwell in the seagrass and muddy bottoms.

It is found in the northwestern Indian Ocean.
It has been found in the Mediterranean Sea, in 2017 and 2018, and reached there either by release from an aquarium or by Lessepsian migration through the Suez Canal from the Red Sea. [11] It is usually found on the outer edges of fringing reefs that are exposed to surge, typically down to depths of around 20 m (66 ft).
Two Red Sea species S. rivulatus and S. luridus have invaded the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal, a process known as Lessepsian migration. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] These fishes are found in inshore tropical and subtropical waters where they occur in reefs, lagoons, mangroves and seagrass beds.
