Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 40; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 15 - 16. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D 40; A 15-16; pectoral fin rays 13-14; no pelvic fins; lateral line 98-105, gill rakers 6 + 1 + 19-20 = 26-27; branchiostegal rays 7; body depth at dorsal origin 11.1%-11.8%SL; head length 4.6-4.8 in SL; eyes large, eye diameter 3.35%-4.4%SL; 3-4 broken, discontinuous yellow stripes on body (Ref. 124631).
This species is reported to be regularly caught by trawlers operating within 80 m depth (mostly within 40 m) along the east coast of India and is locally marketed for domestic consumption (Ref. 124631).
