Ökologie
seewasser; süßwasser; brackwasser; anadrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Subtropical; 13°S - 27°S, 112°E - 126°E (Ref. 188)

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 188)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 13 - 21; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 12 - 23. Distinguished from all other Australian Herklotsichthys by the series of large and almost oval black spots on the flank, sometimes with a second partial row below. Herklotsichthys Species A has much smaller, round spots and is more slender, the hind edges of its scales not denticulate. Elongate wing-like scales present underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales.
Forms schools in coastal waters and enters inlets and lower reaches of rivers.
