Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872.
More on author: Ogilby.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
marino; agua dulce; salobre; rango de profundidad 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 24°S - 39°S, 149°W - 156°E (Ref. 188)
Southwest Pacific: eastern Australia (Queensland southward to New South Wales). Possibly merely an eastern subspecies, of which Herklotsichthys blackburni is the western counterpart; however, it seems equally close to Herklotsichthys Species C. Reported from lower Fly River, Papua New Guinea (Ref. 13533).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 33617); common length : 14.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 33617)
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 16-19; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 21; Vértebra: 41 - 42. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath pre-dorsal scales. Most closely resembles H. blackburni but has more lower gill rakers. Separated from H. gotoi and Herklotsichthys species C by having 3 distinct dark lines upper flank. Upper caudal tip black; dorsal fin with distinct pale band.
Schooling species found in estuarine and coastal marine waters (Ref. 33617, 75154). Adults undergo spawning migration from coastal waters into upper reaches of estuaries during summer and autumn (Ref. 33617).
