Issue
The species Johnius sina (Cuvier, 1830) is considered as valid in Ref. 122871.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; brackish; demersal; oceanodromous (Ref. 51243); depth range 5 - 50 m (Ref. 122858). Tropical; 26°N - 8°N
Indian Ocean: Pakistan to the Andaman Islands. Records outside this area are probably misidentifications (e.g. of Johnius dorsalis in Africa).

Max length : 40.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 30573); common length : 14.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 13679)
Found in coastal waters. Enters estuaries (Ref. 4833). Feeds on invertebrates and small fishes (Ref. 30573). Marketed fresh, dried salted.
