Bregmacerotidae (Codlets)
Etymology: Bregmaceros: Greek, bregma = front of the head + Greek, keras, -atos = horn (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: John McClelland (1805–1875) was a British doctor with interests in geology and natural history. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
البيئة
بحري; مياه مخلوطة; محيطية (Ref. 51243); نطاق العمق 0 - 2000 m (Ref. 26165). Subtropical; 25°N - 6°N, 62°E - 100°E
Indian Ocean: confirmed from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Reports from outside this area are most likely misidentifications (A.S. Harold, pers. comm., 18/08/98) and name reported from western Pacific may be a misidentification of B. pseudolanceolatus (Ref. 114229).
الحجم / وزن / العمر
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.6 cm SL ذكر/ مختلط الجنس; (Ref. 4496); common length : 7.0 cm SL ذكر/ مختلط الجنس; (Ref. 2872); أعلا وزن تم نشرة: 8.50 g (Ref. 128684)
الأشواك الظهرية (المجموع) : 0; الأشعة الظهرية الناعمة (المجموع) : 57 - 66; شوكة شرجية: 0; أشعه شرجية لينه: 58 - 69; فقرات: 52 - 58. Body is elongate, brownish and with speckling above and silvery below. The cheek and lower head also silver. Single occipital ray long and delicate, extending to near the middle of the second dorsal fin (Ref. 46075). Pelvic fins are jugular.
If taxonomy is correct, both onshore in brackish water and oceanic. According to larval survey, occurrence in the tropics is wide (Ref. 9902, 45075). Feed on planktonic crustaceans. Also caught with bagnets (Ref. 2872).
