Etymology: Escualosa: Latin, squaleus, squalidus = with rough skin + Latin, alausa = a fish cited by Ausonius and Latin, halec = pickle, dealing with the Greek word hals = salt; it is also the old Saxon name for shad = "alli" ; 1591 (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
marien; diepte 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 15°N - 8°N, 98°E - 106°E (Ref. 188)
Western Pacific: known only from 2 specimens from the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand (but discovered at the Sunday Market in Bangkok).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.7 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 13 - 21; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 14 - 18. Belly strongly keeled. Separated from similar fishes in the area by the characters given under E. thoracata, from which it differs by its more slender body and narrow silver stripe along the flank (about half eye diameter).
Presumably a marine and coastal pelagic species.
