Ecología
marino; agua dulce; salobre pelagic-neritic; anfidromo (Ref. 51243); rango de profundidad 10 - ? m (Ref. 12298). Tropical; 42°N - 4°N, 94°E - 127°E (Ref. 189)
Western Pacific: East China Sea from Hainan north to Port Arthur (Lu-shun) and perhaps to Korea, although the more northerly records could apply to Coila nasus. A single specimen from Phuket Island, Thailand but the provenance seems doubtful. The four specimens from Kerala, India refer to Coila grayii.

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 80. Body tapering, belly rounded before pelvic fins, with 16 to 19 + 24 to 32 = 41 to 50 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla long, reaching to or almost to base of first pectoral fin ray. Pectoral fin with 6 filaments; rarely 13 or 14 branched fin rays which are longer than those of pelvic fin.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits coastal waters and estuaries, but very few data based on reliable identifications (Ref. 189, 11230). Occurs in river (Ref. 12218).
