Eucinostomus havana commonly known as the bigeye mojarra, is a widespread species of fish found from South Florida and the Caribbean west to the Gulf of Mexico and as far south as the Eastern coasts of Brazil . It dwells in brackish water, favoring shallow mangroves less than 10 m (33 ft) deep.[2] It stalks sandy grounds with vegetation and feeds on invertebrates. Mojarra are of little food value, but may be processed into fishmeal.
