Western Pacific: Strait of Malacca and Gulf of Thailand to southern Japan. This species has been previously misidentified as Nemipterus marginatus by most authors (Ref. 3810).
Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 21.5 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3810); common length : 16.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3810)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 10; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 7. Lower edge of eye touching or just above a line from tip of snout to upper pectoral-fin base; lower edge of suborbital slightly emarginate. Dorsal fin origin about 3-7 scale rows from imaginary line projected upward from posterior edge of suborbital to dorsal profile. Pectoral and pelvic fins long, reaching to or just short of level of anal-fin origin. Closely resembles N. bathybius Snyder, but has no yellow stripe on either side of the ventral midline and the upper tip of the caudal fin not drawn into a distinct filament. Axillary scale present. Color: Upper part pinkish, silvery below.
Found on sand or mud bottoms.
