Etymology: Sillago: From a locality in Australia.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin démersal; océanodrome (Ref. 51243); profondeur 20 - 55 m (Ref. 6205). Tropical; 21°S - 35°S, 110°E - 116°E (Ref. 6205)
Eastern Indian Ocean: Maud Landing southward to Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - 16 cm
Max length : 30.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 6205)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 17 - 19; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 18; Vertèbres: 32 - 34. Swim bladder with a median anterior extension and very brown to rusty brown very narrow bars extending from the back obliquely forward to touch or almost touch a conspicuous silvery midlateral longitudinal stripe.
Most common near weed banks and coral reefs in shallow-water, but not captured in shallow areas of southern waters. Oviparous (Ref. 205), and are multiple spawners with synchronous development (Ref. 36823). Associated with S. burrus, S. schomburgkii, and S. analis. The flesh is of excellent quality (Ref. 6205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22.2 - 24.8, mean 22.8 °C (based on 6 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00351 - 0.01970), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Résilience (Ref.
