Sillaginidae (Smelt-whitings)
Etymology: Sillago: From a locality in Australia.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / Tiefenbereich / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser demersal; standorttreu; tiefenbereich 10 - 50 m (Ref. 6205). Tropical; 28°N - 4°N, 98°E - 125°E (Ref. 6205)
Western Pacific: Taiwan to the Gulf of Thailand. This species is possibly widespread. Sillago soringa is almost certainly a senior synonym of Sillago asiatica.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 6205)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 12; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 20 - 21; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 21 - 23; Wirbelzahl: 34. The swim bladder with three anterior extensions, the middle one projecting forward and the anterolateral ones recurved backward along the swim bladder; only single posterior extension is present. The head and body pale sandy brown to light fawn; belly is paler, almost white. An indistinct pale mid-lateral stripe is present on some specimens. The opercle and preopercle are transparent with a crescentic patch of black-brown spots in a pigmented area the shape of the gill arches on the inside of the gill cover, and showing through. The fins are hyaline; the margins of the unpaired fins finely spotted with brown; the upper and lower margin of the caudal fin dark brown to almost black.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Occur in inshore waters. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Taken as an incidental catch with other sillaginid species (Ref. 9679).
