Indo-Pacific: Suez and western Indian Ocean (the Persian Gulf to Mombasa; possibly to Madagascar) to China, the Arafura Sea (Ref. 9819) and to about Tonga. Previous records of Dussumieria acuta from northeastern Indian Ocean would refer to this species (Ref. 5978).

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 18; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 14 - 18. Branchiostegal rays more (13 to 17) and no striae on posterior part of scales; pelvic fins more advanced; W-shaped pelvic scute; isthmus with tapering evenly forward; more anal fin rays.

Pelagic inshore (Ref. 68964). The habitat and biology are presumably similar to those of D. acuta from which this species was not distinguished in earlier studies. Marketed fresh, may be dried or salted (Ref. 5284).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.4 - 29.1, mean 28.3 (based on 1238 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7520 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00485 - 0.01241), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.43 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.55).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (49 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
