Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 61 - 71; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 47 - 55. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: dorsal fin rays 61-71; anal fin rays 47-55 ; lateral line scales 88-116; caudal vertebrae 25-28; snout, rounded; scale width half its length, ctenii about one fourth of scale length; a small transparent membrane join base of dorsal and anal fins to base of caudal fin (Ref. 56201).
