Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-neritic. Temperate
Indo-Pacific: around the coasts of Australia and probably throughout the Pacific Ocean as they have been collected as far north as Taiwan and Japan.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9769)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 17; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 28. Teeth in jaws in single row, covering about half free edge of premaxilla. Two postmaxillary processes scarcely developed.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Most commonly found in surf around rocky headlands and along the shoreline, occasionally also in more still waters of river mouths. Very delicate and do not survive handling. Appear to be able to hybridize with congeners, Iso flosmaris and Iso hawaiiensis. Nothing else is known about this species. (Ref. 9769).
