Amphidromy is a distinctive form of diadromy that involves some fish, decapod crustaceans and gastropod molluscs. Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well‐grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there. 2, record 1, English, - amphidromy

[L'un des types de diadromie observée est] l'amphidromie : la reproduction se déroule en eau douce. Les larves à éclosion doivent rejoindre l'océan pour se développer. Après une période de développement en mer, les post-larves ou juvéniles colonisent les bassins versants par l'embouchure. En rivière, les juvéniles vont achever leur maturation pour devenir géniteurs. 2, record 1, French, - amphidromie
