Etymology: Thryssa: Greek, thrissa, -es = shad (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Bleeker.

Marine; brackish; pelagic-neritic; oceanodromous (Ref. 51243); depth range 1 - 20 m (Ref. 6898); tropical; 9°N - 11°S94°E - 126°E (Ref. 189).

Indo-West Pacific: only Penang, Malaysia in the Indian Ocean; southern Thailand to Singapore, southern Kalimantan, Java and Sulawesi. Records of this species from India refer to the rather similar Thryssa kammalensoides.

Max length: 18.0 cm TL male/unsexed (Ref. 125279); max. published weight: 36.50 g (Ref. 125279).

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 30 - 33. Belly with 23 to 25 (rarely 24 or 26) keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla moderate, reaching just to gill opening or a little beyond in large fishes; first supra-maxilla about half of second. A diffuse dark `saddle' on nape.

Presumably schooling and occurring mostly inshore. More data needed based on correct identifications.

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.4 - 29.4, mean 29 °C (based on 536 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00365 - 0.00689), b=3.13 (3.07 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; Based on diet studies.

Generation time: 3.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium; Very questionable: based on ex-vessel price for species in this family.
