Sillaginidae (Smelt-whitings)
Etymology: Sillago: From a locality in Australia .
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
marino demersal; no migratorio; rango de profundidad 10 - 50 m (Ref. 6205). Tropical; 28°N - 4°N, 98°E - 125°E (Ref. 6205)
Western Pacific: Taiwan to the Gulf of Thailand. This species is possibly widespread. Sillago soringa is almost certainly a senior synonym of Sillago asiatica.
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 6205)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 20 - 21; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 21 - 23; Vértebra: 34. The swim bladder with three anterior extensions, the middle one projecting forward and the anterolateral ones recurved backward along the swim bladder; only single posterior extension is present. The head and body pale sandy brown to light fawn; belly is paler, almost white. An indistinct pale mid-lateral stripe is present on some specimens. The opercle and preopercle are transparent with a crescentic patch of black-brown spots in a pigmented area the shape of the gill arches on the inside of the gill cover, and showing through. The fins are hyaline; the margins of the unpaired fins finely spotted with brown; the upper and lower margin of the caudal fin dark brown to almost black.
Occur in inshore waters. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Taken as an incidental catch with other sillaginid species (Ref. 9679).
