Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 41 - 46. Belly with 25 to 27 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout a little above level of eye center. Maxilla long, reaching to pectoral fin base; first supra-maxilla minute, oval; teeth in jaws enlarged. Tip of first pectoral fin ray elongated into a short filament. Gill arches pinky orange, basibranchials black, inside of gill cover pale yellow or golden.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Presumably a schooling and found inshore. More data needed.
