Nemipteridae (Threadfin breams, Whiptail breams)
Etymology: Nemipterus: Greek, nema, -atos = filament + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; salmastro demersale; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 30 - 80 m (Ref. 9785). Tropical; 20°N - 25°S, 94°E - 170°E (Ref. 3810)

Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48635); common length : 9.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3810)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral fins short, not reaching to anus. Pelvic fins moderately long, reaching to or just beyond anus. Upper lobe of caudal fin slightly longer than lower lobe. A line drawn up from the posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile behind origin of dorsal fin. Axillary scale present. Color: Upper part of body pale silvery-rose, silvery below. Can be distinguished from N. balinensis by its shallower suborbital depth (4.1 to 6.7 in eye) and shorter pectoral fin.
Occurs on sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 3810) of the continental shelf (Ref. 75154). Rarely seen in markets (Ref. 3810).
