seewasser; brackwasser; amphidrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich 0 - 50 m (Ref. 189). Tropical; 26°N - 5°N, 64°E - 95°E (Ref. 189)
Indian Ocean: India, perhaps reaching to Pakistan, but not recorded from the Gulf and the Red Sea, its place in the Gulf being taken by Thryssa whiteheadi.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.5 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 189)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 34 - 38. Belly with 23 to 26 keeled scutes (isthmus to anus). Tip of snout about level of upper rim of eye. Maxilla moderate; first supra-maxilla small, oval; jaw teeth small. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening; small spots on cheek, gill cover, maxilla and paired fins; gill arches pinky orange, inside of gill cover yellow and gold; inner part of anal fin deep yellow, margin whitish.
A schooling fish found mostly inshore and perhaps entering estuaries. Although the name malabarica features in the literature, there can be no certainty that it refers to present species.
