Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin; saumâtre récifal; amphidrome (Ref. 51243); profondeur 0 - 120 m (Ref. 30573). Tropical; 35°N - 20°S, 40°E - 156°E (Ref. 55462)
Indo-Pacific: probably throughout the warmer coastal waters, from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Solomon Islands, north to southern Japan, south to northern Australia. Recently reported from Tonga (Ref. 53797).
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 100.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 188); 36.6 cm SL (female); common length : 60.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5450)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 16 - 19; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 29 - 36. Diagnosis: The slightly shorter pectoral fin, 11-13% of standard length, and the black marking of the upper part of the dorsal fin are the only satisfactory characters separating this species from Chirocentrus nudus; there is also some black on the anterior part of the anal fin (Ref. 188).
Occurs inshore, including brackish waters (Ref. 12743), from the shore to a depth of about 120 m (Ref. 30573). In Australia, it was reported in water temperatures of 26.0-29.0 °C (Ref. 4959). It feeds mainly on small fish and crustaceans (Ref. 188, 30573). Voracious predators of small schooling fishes, e.g. herrings and anchovies (Ref. 37816). Marketed fresh, frozen or dried and salted.
