| Family: |
Engraulidae (Anchovies), subfamily: Coiliinae |
| Max. size: |
12.4 cm SL (male/unsexed) |
| Environment: |
pelagic-neritic; freshwater; brackish; marine |
| Distribution: |
Western Central Pacific: Indonesia (Kalimantan at Pamangkat on the western coast and Banjermasin on the Barito River to the South). Indian records of Coilia borneensis probably refer to Coilia reynaldi, a very similar species. Probably also Thailand (Ref. 1632). |
| Diagnosis: |
Dorsal spines (total): 0-0; Anal spines: 0-0; Anal soft rays: 80. Body tapering, belly rounded before pelvic fins, with 4 or 5 + 7 or 8 = 11 to 13 keeled scutes from just behind pectoral fin base to anus. Maxilla short, not reaching to edge of gill cover. Pectoral fin with 13 or 14 long filaments and 5 to 7 branched fin rays, much shorter than those of pelvic fin. Anal fin long, the last fin ray joined to the caudal fin, which is small and pointed. |
| Biology: |
Evidently a riverine species, or at least estuarine, but perhaps also in the sea. More data needed. Uncertainty over identifications makes previous literature unreliable. |
| IUCN Red List Status: |
Data deficient (DD); Date assessed: 23 February 2018 Ref. (130435)
|
| Threat to humans: |
harmless |
