Clupeiformes (Herrings) >
Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Clupanodon: Latin, clupea = sardine, derived from Clupeus = shield; doubtless a reference to the scales covering the body of the fish (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Linnaeus.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; acqua dolce; salmastro pelagic-neritic; anadromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 41°N - 6°N, 98°E - 128°E (Ref. 188)
Northwest Pacific: China, apparently south to Viet Nam (Philippine records of Fowler appear doubtful). Eastern Indian Ocean: Specimens were recorded from Phuket Island, Thailand (Andaman Sea).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 26.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 22 - 28. Body moderately deep; belly with 16 to 19 (usually 18) + 9 to 12 (usually 10 or 11) total 27 to 31 (usually 29 or 30) scutes; pre-dorsal scutes present, 17 to 26 (usually 20 to 25). gill rakers of first arch at least 3/4 length of gill filaments. Vertebrae 43 to 46 (usually 44 or 45). A dark spot behind gill opening, followed by further spots on flank.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Found in coastal waters and in rivers, presumably tolerating brackish water, if not fully fresh condition. More data needed.
