Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Radios blandos anales: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: longer head, 30.0- 34.6 % SL; its operculum extends beyond pectoral fin base as a soft membranous flap; predorsal scales 8; lateral line 23-24 + 1- 2 scales (at the base of caudal fin); short dorsal fin located behind ventral fin origin, the third dorsal ray osseous, rigid and strong, its spinous portion longer, 51.2- 52.2 % HL; elongated pectoral fin reaches pelvic fin and pelvic fin reaches vent; 3-4 longitudinal lines below lateral line and a narrow and short depression present on occiput. Coloration: silvery body, dorsal fin light orange red, pectoral and anal fin greenish yellow, ventral fin yellow, caudal fin dusky; operculum with minute black spots; a diffuse, inconspicuous dusky spot in 21 and 22 scales (Ref. 103709).
This edible species can also be utilized as an ornamental species fish. It was collected from a polluted water channel flowing through the heart of the Kayamkulam city, and is considered to survive to some extent in contaminated water bodies (Ref. 103709).
