The biology and fisheries of cobbler Cnidoglanis macrocephalus have been examined on the Australian west coast, but not the east coast. This study identified that east coast estuary cobbler was more prevalent over vegetated habitat than bare substrata and that spawning occurred during spring and early summer. Observed longevity was 9⁺ and 20⁺ years for males and females, but there were no discernible differences between sexes or estuaries in mean total length (TL) at age. The von Bertalanffy growth function of combined sexes was L_inf = 61.2 cm TL, k = 0.677, t₀ = 0.007. The data demonstrate similarities and differences in life history characteristics of cobbler between coasts.

已经在澳大利亚西海岸检查了补鞋匠Cnidoglanis macrocephalus的生物学和渔业，但没有在东海岸检查过。这项研究发现，东海岸河口鹅卵石在植被栖息地中比裸露地更普遍，并且产卵发生在春季和初夏。观察到的男性和女性的寿命分别为 9 ⁺和 20 ⁺年，但在年龄的平均总长度 (TL) 上，性别或河口之间没有明显差异。混合性别的von Bertalanffy生长函数为L _inf  = 61.2 cm TL, k  = 0.677, t ₀ = 0.007。数据显示了海岸之间补鞋匠生活史特征的异同。
