Mugilidae (Mullets)
Etymology: Chelon: Greek, chelone = turtle (Ref. 45335); bandialensis: The epithet bandialensis indicates the species is from the Bandiala channel, the main arm of the Sine Saloum estuary in Senegal where the species was first collected (Ref. 89987).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas; estuarina demersal; oceanódromo (Ref. 89987); intervalo de profundidade 0 - ? m. Tropical; 15°N - 9°N, 18°W - 13°W (Ref. 89987)
Africa: eastern central Atlantic Ocean and coastal waters of Senegal, Gambia and Guinea Bissau (Ref. 89987).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 57.2 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 28587)
Robust and rounded body. Head profile pointed, alike L. dumerili. HL about 23% SL. Adipose tissue forming a single small rim around the eye. Upper lip's thickness about 1/3 the eye diameter. Lower lip with a thin rim. Anterior edge of the upper jaw reaches the vertical limit of the anterior eye rim. Back silverish blue-grey, sides pale to silver-white with seven longitudinal grey lines. Anal and dorsal fins yellow. Caudal fin yellow with a black edge (Ref. 28587).
Maximal length observed during the redescription is 43.9 cm SL (Ref. 89987). It seems to be a rare and large species throughout its distribution; only specimens > 25 cm were observed so far (Ref. 89987). It status for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is recommended as "Data Deficient" (Ref. 89987).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00480 - 0.02504), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.6 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
