Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; salmastro. Tropical; 24°N - 9°S, 78°E - 117°E (Ref. 188)
Indo-Pacific: Indian Ocean (eastern coasts of India, possibly also coasts of Myanmar), Singapore and Java Sea (south coast of Kalimantan, also Bagan Api Api, Sumatra).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 81 - 93. Body elongate, with strongly convex lower profile bearing a sharp keel of 33 to 38 scutes. Lower jaw prominent, mouth pointing obliquely upward; upper jaw short, not reaching beyond eye center. Anal fin very long, its origin well before midpoint of body. A dark spot behind gill opening.
A marine species, or perhaps more commonly estuarine (e.g. Aluhaluh on the Barito River in Kalimantan, Indonesia). Feeds mainly on prawns (especially Acetes), but also on copepods. More specimens and data needed.
