Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 24. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: head length 21.7-22.7 % SL, snout length 19.9-24.5 % HL, upper jaw length 53.0-61.3 % HL, snout length 35.6-43.4% of upper jaw length; total gill rakers 13-18; scale rows below lateral line 13-14; vomerine tooth patch is rhomboid; tip of pectoral fin is almost same level as tip of appressed pelvic fin; lateral line gradually curved anteriorly. Colouration: a prominent black spot distally on anterior dorsal fin, with its size almost same as eye diameter or larger (Ref. 129587).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

This species is apparently living inshore and migrating into brackish water as the specimens used in this study were collected from the lower reaches of rivers, estuaries or inner part of bays (Ref. 129587).
